Some things you have to do every day. Eating seven apples on Saturday night instead of one a day just isn't going to get the job done.
[Jim Rohn]

 

Watermelon --it's a good fruit. You eat, you drink, you wash your face.
[ Enrico Caruso]

Fruits are acceptable gifts, because they are the flower of commodities, and admit of fantastic values being attached to them. If a man should send to me to come a hundred miles to visit him, and should set before me a basket of fine summer-fruit, I should think there was some proportion between the labor and the reward.
[ Ralph Waldo Emerson]

Chilled Puree Of Beet & Watermelon

 

Ingredients

1 tbsp vegetable oil
1 medium onion, peeled and sliced
1/2 lb beets, peeled, roughly diced
4 cup chicken stock or low-sodium chicken, broth
1 tsp salt
2 1/2 cup diced seeded watermelon (rind remo, ved)



 

Preparation

HEAT THE OIL IN A STOCK POT over low heat, add the onions and cook
slowly, stirring, about 7 minutes. Add the beets and continue to cook
slowly, covered, until most of their water has been released and they
have fallen apart, about 35 minutes. Stir often to avoid sticking and
burning. Add the stock and salt, cover and bring to a boil. Reduce
the heat and simmer, covered, for 15 minutes. When the soup is
finished cooking, strain and reserve the liquid. Transfer the beets
to a blender or food processor and add the watermelon. Puree until
very smooth. Return the puree to the pot and add the reserved liquid.
Chill the soup well, about 4 hours before serving.
