Watermelon in Cherries

Cimg1950I wanted to create a few bite size canapes for guests coming over for dinner recently.  Since we are in the sweltering heat of the summer, I wanted to create a few dishes that didn't involve slaving over an oven.  In addition, I wanted our guests to have something refreshing.  For a foodie event a few years ago, I stuffed raw cherries with foie gras.  Here, I stuffed them with a watermelon gelee.  I simply pureed watermelon chunks to yield about a cup of watermelon juice.  I mixed it with a pack of gelatin and placed in the fridge for a few hours.  Just cube the gelee and place inside a pitted cherry (I used multiple cherry varieties here, making a nice presentation).  Just before serving, I popped them into the freezer for about 5 minutes.  A garnish of mint adds another cooling flavor to this refreshing bite.
