Finicky Friday - Juicy Watermelon Sorbet

Hey everyone, I thought it would be cool to post some recipes I had found online. I’m going to *try* to do some of these beforehand, but I’m sure there’ll be times I won't. I'm going to call this Finicky Friday. :)




Juicy Watermelon Sorbet

“A fresh summer favorite in an icy frozen form perfect for the heat of the season! It's also perfect for using leftover watermelon from previous enjoyments."

Ingredients

3 cups water
3 cups white sugar
1/4 cup lime juice
4 cups cubed seeded watermelon


Directions

Heat water and sugar in a saucepan over medium-high heat until sugar has dissolved, stirring occasionally. Allow to cool. Place watermelon in a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth. Whisk watermelon, lime juice and syrup together in a large bowl. 

Cover and chill in the refrigerator.

Pour the chilled mixture into an ice cream maker and freeze according to manufacturer's directions until it reaches "soft-serve" consistency. Transfer sorbet to a one- or two-quart lidded plastic container; cover surface with plastic wrap and seal. For best results, sorbet should ripen in the freezer for at least 2 hours or overnight.


* Tip: This recipe is *really* sweet. If too sweet, go ahead and make your simple syrup as instructed, but only use 1 cup in the sorbet.
