Star Appetizer





Looking for a cute little appetizer for summer entertaining?  This just might be the one for you, if in fact, watermelon, provolone cheese, and blueberries appeal to you!  The combination is quite tasty!
I measured the depth of my cookie cutter and then sliced the watermelon to fit nicely.   After cutting the watermelon stars, I decided to use a smaller star cookie cutter and cut the provolone cheese.  I cut both the watermelon and provolone a few hours ahead...I put paper towels in between the watermelon stars to dry them a bit.
Just prior to party time, stack the stars and then thread two or three blueberries on picks and attach to stars.
For an added touch I made tags to match the July 4th holiday!

Raspberry-Watermelon Lemonade


This is a nice fruity drink and can be prepared quite quickly!

Raspberry-Watermelon Lemonade

1/2 cup raspberries
6 cups seedless watermelon cubes
1 cup water
1/3 cup sugar (generous)
1/2 cup fresh squeezed lemon juice (5-7 lemons, depending on size)

Place raspberries, watermelon, and water in Cuisinart, cover and blend until smooth. Strain to be sure there are no seeds!
Stir in sugar and lemon juice thoroughly (making sure the sugar is dissolved)

Chill & Enjoy~
