Watermelon Sorbet

After bowling on Tuesday night I made Ichiro and Keith stop at the grocery store to pick of a few things we needed for Taco Night.  I love it when Ichiro stops at the store cause he always, I mean ALWAYS comes home with things not on the list.  Tuesday was no exception, although he forgot the tomatoes AND he didn’t know a hard green avocado was not ripe, he did bring home a mini watermelon.  We’ve been talking about making watermelon sorbet since Xmas when Brenda gave him the Vegan Scoop cookbook.

All I have to say is OMG, it is SOOO good and I know we will be making this again and again and again!

In a small saucepan, bring ½ cup watermelon puree and the sugar to a simmer and remove it from the heat. Add the lime juice and zest and allow the mixture to cool for 20 minutes. Add the 4 cups fresh watermelon puree to the melon-lime mixture, and then freeze in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
