| Katie and Steele with our homegrown watermelon |
We grew a massive watermelon this summer. We ate some, but still had a lot left over. So, I decided to make watermelon sorbet. I highly recommend this sorbet; it is actually more watermelony (I don't think that is a word) than watermelon. Seriously, the watermelon taste is concentrated so it pops.
Watermelon Sorbet
1/2 Cup (120 ml) of Water
1 Cup (200 g) of Sugar
2 Tablespoons of Fresh Lime Juice
3 Cups (456 g) of Watermelon, Cubed and Seeds Removed
Make a simple syrup by combing water, sugar, and lime juice in a small saucepan and heat until sugar dissolves. Chill.
In a blender or food processor, puree watermelon. Combine pureed watermelon with simple syrup and pour into an ice-cream maker. Freeze according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Will we make this again? Yes, it was lovely. It tasted fresh and pure and sweet. Like the best part of summer. Steven put his in a martini glass with a shot of vodka and declared it "a great drink." I was happy with savoring mine and enjoying the last bits of summer.
