Watermelon Sorbet

"I'm posting this in answer to a request. I haven't made it myself. It was on a site called The Ice Cream Parlor. An ice cream maker is necessary. Times do not include chilling or freezing, and are guesses."

Reviews

  1. I have made this sorbet at least three times. It was very good as written, but the lemon did add a bit too much tang for me. Now when I make this I add the juice from one half of a LIME, omitting the lemon... to me, the flavor is now closer to fresh watermelon. DELICIOUS, especially on those hot summer days.
     
  2. I made this using 1/2 cup of light corn syrup instead of the sugar and water! So much easier! This tasted great! I think I'll add 1 tablespoon of vodka to the mix next time...it keeps the sorbet from freezing rock solid in the freezer! I'm adding my photo!
     
  3. i made mine with splenda and it was just as good and lower in calories :)
     
  4. Just made it as written on this very humid August day. Excellent, so refreshing!
     
  5. I used a ginger syrup and the finished product was gone in a flash!

Tweaks

  1. I added cassis, a combination of lemon and lime and a squeeze of ginger (I use a garlic press). Next tweak will incorporate mint, lime and rum for a Watermelon Mint Mojito variation.
