    Hyvee Culinary Expert Tip
    We always recommend watching your oil carefully to avoid smoking and to check the oil temperature using a thermometer. If you do not have a thermometer, check the temperature of the oil by dipping the handle of a wooden spoon in the oil, if bubbles form around the wooden handle, your oil is hot.

  4. In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine red pepper jelly and water. Microwave until drizzling consistency; set aside.  

  5. Once cool enough to handle, skewer one croquette with a piece of melon. Drizzle with red pepper jelly sauce just before serving. If desired, garnish with fresh parsley.
