WATERMELON BERRY SORBET
A contest winning, healthy and easy recipe from Taste of Home. And it is SO good. No ice cream maker necessary! Recipe posted by Jill Swavely, Green Lane, Pennsylvania. NOTE: I made this the other day and used 1/4 cup Splenda and 1/4 cup sugar PLUS I misread the directions and just threw all of the ingredients in to the blender and I have to say it worked great without the heating of the "syrup".

- Freeze the watermelon and berries before making the sorbet: This will help to create a smoother and more consistent texture.
- Use a high-powered blender or food processor: This will help to break down the frozen fruit and create a smooth sorbet.
- Add a little bit of sugar or honey to taste: This will help to balance out the tartness of the fruit and create a more enjoyable sorbet.
- Serve the sorbet immediately or freeze it for later: If you are serving the sorbet immediately, be sure to let it soften for a few minutes so that it is easier to scoop. If you are freezing the sorbet, be sure to store it in an airtight container.
