Cute cherry TOMATOES (not cherries) filled with crab. they're cut in half, stuffed, and put back together with a toothpick. Very cute indeed. (you can use white albacore tuna in place of the crab, if you like.) Really need a picture.

How To Make cute cherry/crab appetizers

  • Step 1
    Remove stems from washed tomatoes; cut off tops to make small caps, set aside, and scoop pulp from bottoms.
  • Step 2
    In medium bowl, blend cream cheese, sour cream and sherry; stir in remaining filling ingredients.
  • Step 3
    Fill tomatoes with crab mixture. Stick toothpicks into centers of caps, and stick securely into filled tomatoes. Will hold several hours. *NOTE: if you'd like, when inserting toothpicks into tomatoes, add tiny sprig of parsley to tomato cap before toothpicking.
  • Step 4
    Refrigerate till serving time.
