Suggest a better descriptionCut about one inch off the top of the melon; reserve. This will later serve as a lid. Clean out the inside of the melon and discard seeds. With a long handled spoon, scoop out 1 cup of the center pulp and chop. In a heavy skillet, heat butter over moderate heat. Add the meat and onion; saute until browned, stirring frequently. Add the rice, pine nuts, currants, 1 tb. sugar, cinnamon, salt, chopped melon pulp and water; mix well. Cook until liquid in the pan is absorbed, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat; cool to room temperature. Sprinkle the inside of the melon with the remaining 1/2 tb. of sugar and spoon the meat stuffing into it. Cover with the reserved top; secure with wooden picks. Place in an oiled baking pan just large enough to hold the melon comfortably. Bake at 350 F. for one hour, or until tender.
