Place the fruit on a cutting board. Using a sharp knife, slice in half lengthwise down the fruit starting from the top down to the tougher stem.
Use a spoon to scoop out the flesh from each half. Or, cut the half into quarters and use your fingers to peel back the skin from the flesh.
Cut the flesh into slices or cubes depending on preference.
To make into spheres, leave the fruit cut in half and use a melon baller to scoop out little balls of the fruit.
