Ingredients

  • 3 cups diced seedless watermelon
  • 1/4-1/3 cups warm water (optional)
  • 2 tbsp honey (optional)

Instructions

  • Place the watermelon into a gallon sized freezer bag. Freeze for at least 2 hours and up to overnight.
  • Remove from freezer and, if it was in the freezer for more than 2 hours, let sit at room temperature for about 10-15 minutes to thaw a little.
  • Add frozen watermelon to the bowl of a food processor. Process, adding warm water as needed to help the mixture move around, as needed. Process until smooth.
  • Taste and add honey if desired. Serve cold.

Notes

  • Freeze sorbet in a freezer-safe container for up to 1 month. Thaw at room temperature for about 20-30 minutes (or less time if you take it outside on a hot day!) before serving to allow it to soften up.
  • You can also freeze in smaller portions if desired.
  • The frozen pieces of melon will blend more easily if they are on the smaller side (so 1/2-1 inch big) and if slightly thawed. If it's having a hard time blending, walk away and do something else for a few minutes so it can thaw a bit. Then it will be easier to blend.
