Watermelon Espuma

I’m a nerd and like kitchen toys and gadgets.  I decided to buy a whipped cream dispenser and try to make different types of espuma for the bar.  First up is watermelon!

Watermelon Espuma – 1 liter

4 cups of watermelon juice
6 gelatin sheets (1 tablespoon powdered gelatin)

Blend or juice 4 cups of watermelon juice.  In a small saucepan, heat 2 cups of watermelon juice and bring to a simmer.  Add 6 sheets of gelatin and remove from heat.  Stir to dissolve and add remaining juice.  Strain juice and refrigerate.  Pour into dispenser and refrigerate for 3-4 hours.  Charge with c02 (2 for liter).

Don't know why I took so many pictures of straining but must have been important.
