Watermelon Sorbet:
- 6 cups cubed seedless watermelon (3/4-inch cubes)
Simple Syrup:
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup water
- Juice from 1/2 lemon
Instructions
- Prepare Watermelon: Line a baking sheet with parchment. Spread watermelon on it and freeze at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Make Simple Syrup: Combine sugar and water in a small saucepan over high heat. Cook, stirring until the sugar is dissolved. Stir in the lemon.
- Blend: Transfer half of the frozen watermelon to a food processor fitted with a steel blade. Drizzle on half of the hot simple syrup and puree, scraping down sides as necessary. If the mixture is too icy, add two tablespoons of water to help. Transfer to a container and freeze. Repeat with the remaining watermelon and syrup.
- Serve: Enjoy immediately or store in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.
Notes
- For a sugar-free version, omit sugar and use water to aid blending.
- Alternatively, substitute a non-nutritive sweetener for sugar.
