Turn the honeydew melon on its side with cut stem end to your left and blossom end to your right.
Place the knife about 1 inch to the left of center, then angle the knife to the right at about a 45-degree angle and slice the melon completely through.
Use the melon-baller to remove the pulp from the top, reserving for fruit salad, then discard the top.
The reserved bottom will become your basket.
