Okay, so maybe it’s been hot for a while where you are. It sure has here in North Carolina. However, today, June 21st is the official first day of summer.
How do you enjoy summer? Catch more movies, read more, eat lighter meals, hang out at the pool? Tell me
Summer is the perfect time of year for lighter fare. I don’t know about you but I don’t want a hot meal when it’s hot out. And baby, here in North Carolina, it’s hot and humid! Sorbet is a favorite summer refresher.
Watermelon is one of my favorite summer fruits sooo, put them together in sorbet!
Watermelon Sorbet
make a simple syrup – half sugar, half water
1/2 c. water
1/2 c. sugar
bring to a boil
Add a tbsp. of fresh-squeezed lime juice or throw a slice of lime and simmer for a minute Let cool, remove lime slice
Cut up watermelon into chunks. You’ll need about 8 cups.
Throw it all in the food processor and process until smooth.
Pour in rectangular backing dish and freeze about 4 hours, stir every hour.
When frozen, pop it back in the food processor in batches and pulse. Serve and sigh in pleasure!
