Watermelon Sorbet

 

Summer is here and there’s no better way to cool down than with a cool, braces-friendly summer treat! We have a great watermelon sorbet recipe from the AAO that would be the perfect treat to take to any summer barbecue!

Watermelon Sorbet

{Ingredients} 

¾ cup water

¼ cup sugar

1 teaspoon lime juice

2 to 3 cups watermelon, diced, no seeds or rind

{Directions}

In a small saucepan, heat the water, sugar, and lime juice on medium high for 1 to 2 minutes, stirring until the sugar is dissolved. Chill this “syrup” at lease 20 minutes. In the meantime, place the watermelon chunks in a food processor or blender and liquefy them. Add the chilled syrup to the watermelon puree and blend. Freeze sorbet in an ice-cream maker according the manufacturer’s directions. Serve immediately.
