Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 cups ripe watermelon, diced (seeds removed) Ensure to use sweet, firm melons for best flavor.
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar Adjust to taste if necessary.
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice Adds brightness to the flavor.
  • a pinch salt salt Enhances sweetness.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Start by cutting up your ripe watermelon into uniform cubes. Make sure to remove all seeds, as they can disrupt the smooth texture of your sorbet.
  2. Place the diced watermelon into a blender or food processor. Add the sugar, lemon juice, and salt. Blend until completely smooth. You may need to scrape the sides to ensure all pieces are incorporated.
  3. Give your sorbet mixture a quick taste. If you want it sweeter, feel free to add another tablespoon of sugar.
  4. Pour the mixture into an airtight container and spread it evenly.
  5. Cover your container and place it in the freezer for about 4-6 hours or until it’s fully frozen.
  6. Once frozen, use a spoon or ice cream scoop to serve. Let it sit for a few minutes at room temperature before scooping to make it easier.

Notes

You can customize your sorbet with toppings like a blueberry sauce or fresh mint. To store, keep it in an airtight container in the freezer for 1-2 weeks.
