Yesterday I created a delicious, refreshing watermelon sorbet with fresh melon and lime juice from a bottle. And let me tell you-- it was so tasty, it's gone. Seriously, Mike and I ate the entire container in two days. You just keep wanting more. I found this lovely recipe on Use Real Butter. Everyone should make it. And definitely add the vodka-- you can't taste it and it's just a tiny bit, but it keeps the sorbet from getting too hard!
Now doesn't that look tasty?
Watermelon Sorbet
3 cups watermelon juice (purée about 3 pounds of watermelon flesh with seeds removed)
1/2 cup sugar
pinch of salt
1 tbsp lime juice
1-2 tbsp vodka
Heat 1/2 cup of the watermelon juice with sugar and salt, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat and stir it into the remaining watermelon juice. Mix in the lime juice and the vodka. Chill thoroughly, then freeze the mixture in the ice cream maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
