Summer is here and watermelon is in season! Yesterday I bought one of the biggest watermelons I had ever seen at Whole Foods! I dropped some watermelon slices off at my daughter's school for a snack but I had all this yummy watermelon left. Oh, my what to do? I decided to make a watermelon sorbet for the first time.
I must say, it came out SO good. It has a hint of lemon and honey and is so refreshing.
Additionally, watermelon is super good for you! It is very cleansing and helps flush out uric acid from the body.
This is a super simple recipe and perfect for summer! Bon Appetite!

I skipped the lemon flavor but the lemon and honey still overpowered the flavor of the sorbet so it doesn’t taste much like watermelon. Has a nice pink color and a good consistency though.

Hi Will,
You can use a different sweetener such as stevia or Lakanto in this recipe. Some honey's are mild while others are overpowering, it really depends on the type you use.
Warmly,
Ester

If you don't own an ice cream maker, how can you make this without that?
Ester Perez says
You can make this granite style by pouring it into a baking dish and stirring it frequently to break up the ice into small pieces. It is delicious!

What is the 1/4 tsp of "lemon flavor?" You already have a half cup of actual lemon juice in this recipe. Do you mean imitation lemon extract? Lemon oil? Something else?
Ester Perez says
Lemon flavor is a mixture of lemon oil with sunflower oil. I used Simply Organic Lemon Flavor. If you have pure lemon oil, use 2-3 drops. It really lifts the flavor of the fresh lemon. If you don't have any, leave it out and the recipe will still be delicious.
Happy cooking!
Ester
