Watermelon in Cherries
I 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.
