WATERMELON SORBET

Very light and refreshing with the perfect amount of sweetness. Lime juice brightens up the flavor and adds a delightful zing. The texture is soft, reminiscent of a very light sorbet combined with a shaved ice. This is a great recipe to make with plentiful watermelon available in the summertime. It's the perfect ending after a filling summer dinner or a refreshing snack on a hot day. You could even pour a shot of Cointreau® over the top or blend the mixture with tequila and enjoy it as a boozy summer treat.

WATERMELON SORBET

There are no bad watermelons, but how can you improve your chances for a ripe, delicious one? The cheater's answer is to buy them at a farm stand or a farmers' market, where not only are they likely to be tastier but will also come with a seasoned pro to help. If you're in the grocery store, you might have to get a little rough: put your ear close and slap the side of the watermelon. If it makes a hollow sound, you're in business.
