Watermelon sorbet

Watermelon sorbet: 3 cups watermelon chunks, seeds removed. Add 2 TB sugar, whirl in the blender until liquified, and put in the ice cream maker and freeze according to machine instructions.

It was ravishing. I scarfed mine down and eyed Rob's bowl (he'd put it aside because he was doing something on the computer). I waited thirty seconds and then said, "If you don't eat that immediately, it's mine."

He looked around, and perhaps intimidated by the look in my eye, didn't argue. "Suit yourself."

I fell upon the bowl and ravished the contents.

I may never eat watermelon any other way.

It's a pity watermelon is a vile, obnoxious, inedible substance. People keep on waxing on about how wonderful it is! (I'm allergic to it - and most other fresh fruits and vegetables.)

A Gift Of Watermelon Sorbet.

"He looked around, and perhaps inimidated by the look in my eye, didn't argue. 'Suit yourself'"

I always thought Rob was a _very_ wise man.

I <3 sorbet. Too bad I have no ice cream maker. :(

You can simply liquify it in a blender and then freeze it, stirring it periodically. Try it and let me know what you think.

Ooh, good. I don't have an ice cream maker either. How often would you suggest stirring it, and how long should you freeze it? :)

I suppose that depends on your freezer. All I can suggest is that you experiment. The recipe I had didn't specify any time.

Oooh. I have most of a huge watermelon in the fridge and was trying to figure out how on earth my sister and I were going to finish it. This sounds like a brilliant idea. :)

So glad you liked it! I think it can get quite addictive.

tried a variant of your watermelon sorbet

I didn't have your recipe at hand, so I tried one that has lime juice, sugar, and a small amount of white wine... it's a granita, so freeze in ice cube trays and then blenderize briefly. It was very very nice!
