GreekVegetarianIntermediate180 minBy Northstar

Ingredients

Servings
4
  • 1 each cantaloupe or honeydew, or
  • 0.3 each watermelon (for about 4 1/2 cups diced)
  • 0.5 cup orange juice (see note)
  • 0.5 cup granulated sugar (see note)

Instructions

  1. 1

    Seed and dice the melon.

  2. 2

    Stir together the citrus juice and sugar until mixture is fully liquid (sugar needn't be completely dissolved).

  3. 3

    In batches, if necessary, puree melon with the sugar mixture and any liquid from dicing. (A blender is best for this; if using a food processor, keep at it a while, scraping and stirring occasionally, to produce a puree, not just chopped melon).

  4. 4

    Taste and add sugar if necessary.

  5. 5

    Freeze in ice cream freezer following manufacturer's directions for sorbet.

  6. 6

    If you don't have an ice cream freezer, pour mixture into shallow bowl and freeze 3 hours or until firm, then scoop into a mixer bowl and beat with an electric mixer about 10 seconds.
