Watermelon Sorbet
From CSA Farmers Market
<p>Combining fruit and basil seemed a bit strange to me. You know, the odd recipe you hung on to for years but never got around to trying until you have a “what do I do with all this watermelon” situation. What I didn’t realize at first was how great it is to get to eat watermelon in December, even if it is frozen.</p>Source: unknown (Entered by Teresa Cheely)
Serves: about 6
Vegan!
Ingredients
1 cup
water
1/2 cup
sugar
2 cups
watermelon chunks
2 cups
berries: any kind or combination
1 tablespoon
Slow Dog Lemon Basil
Step by Step Instructions
- Combine water and sugar in a saucepan. Bring to a boil. Cook 2 minutes. Let cool. Add the rest of the ingredients and blend until almost smooth.
- Pour into a 13 x 9 Pan and freeze for 1 1/2 hours. Scratch up with a fork until its the texture of a scoop of snow. You can serve it with fresh berries for garnish.
- If freezing for later: Store in a freezer container. When ready to serve, let thaw until it scratches up easily. Also, my kids liked it unscratched up like a popsicle.
