kcalIngredients
2 cups sugar
1 ½ cups water
1 ½ pounds seedless watermelon, cut into one-inch chunks
2 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice.
Method
Add the sugar and water into a small, heavy-bottomed saucepan. Make sure to use a saucepan of this shape and size so that the heat is distributed well, and we don’t get hot spots on the base of the pan which leads to a burned syrup.
Over medium heat, bring the mixture to just under a boil, making sure to whisk to dissolve the sugar. Allowing the mixture to violently boil will lead to a number of complex candy-making sugar stages, which we ought to avoid for now.
Pour the mixture into a shallow pan or bowl, and place in the fridge to chill thoroughly – this should take one to two hours.
Place the melon in the fridge until it’s chilled, which should take about an hour.
When the syrup is cold, whisk in the lemon juice and the melon puree. Make sure to stir thoroughly, as the sugar is what will ensure that the sorbet stays in one piece.
Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker, and then process according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Don’t be afraid to give the mixture a little longer in the ice cream maker, as the sugar can be a difficult thing to properly freeze.
After that time has elapsed, use a non-stick utensil such as a rubber spatula to transfer the sorbet into a freezer-safe airtight container.
Cover the sorbet itself tightly and freeze until the sorbet is firm – this should take at least four hours.
