Watermelon Mint Sorbet

Came across this recipe as well. Sounds perfect for a hot, humid day like the ones we have here in Texas. :)




Watermelon Mint Sorbet

• 4 cups (more or less) cubed seedless watermelon
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 2 cups water
• 5-6 fresh mint leaves
• 2 tablespoon lime juice

Directions:
Make a simple syrup by adding sugar, mint and water to a saucepan and heat just until the sugar dissolves. Cover and let mint leaves steep for about an hour. Cool in refrigerator.

Once the simple syrup is chilled, remove mint leaves, add liquid to a food processor along with the cubed watermelon and lime juice. Puree until smooth. Pour mixture through a strainer to catch the fibrous bits and seeds, and add strained liquid to an ice cream maker. Store the freezer.
