Watermelon Jelly

The Water melon , also called African water melon, jelly melon, hedged gourd, English tomato, or cherie, is an annual vine in the watermelon family. It is considered to be the ancestor of the other cultivated melons. Often known by its nickname in the southeastern United States, blowfish fruit, it is grown for its fruit, which look like oval monochrome-like spines. The fruit of this plant is edible, but it is used as often for decoration as for food. When ripe, it has a yellow-orange skin and a lime green, jelly-like flesh with a tart taste, and texture similar to a cucumber. The horned melon is native to Africa, and it is now grown in California,Chile and newzeal and as well.
