This Watermelon Sorbet recipe is quite simple to make and is a refreshing dairy free frozen treat that is perfect for cooling off on scorching summer days.

Sorbet is a frozen treat made from sweetened water and your favorite fruit. This recipe is for watermelon sorbet which you'll find has a lighter flavor than a lot of sorbets you can make or buy. The key to making this recipe great is finding a melon that has a lot of flavor and natural sweetness.

To make sorbet you will need an ice cream maker like this one. If you do not have one you can make it into a granita instead by freezing it in a pan and scraping the ice with a fork to serve.

Don't toss the watermelon rind! Save it to make Watermelon Rind Preserves and impress your friends and family.

Ingredients

1 cup sugar
1 cup water
8 cups cubed seedless watermelon
2 tablespoons lemon juice

Instructions

In a small saucepan, bring water, lemon juice and sugar to a boil. Boil for 1-2 minutes or until sugar has dissolved. Allow to cool completely.
Using your blender, process watermelon until pureed.
Transfer the puree and sugar water to an ice cream maker. Follow the instructions that came with your ice cream maker for making sorbet.
