Make sorbet. I decided to look at sorbet recipes and find one that was easy and sounded good. I found this at Rachael Ray's site: http://www.rachaelraymag.com/Recipes/rachael-ray-magazine-recipe-index/dessert-recipes/Watermelon-Sorbet
Ingredients:
5 pounds seedless watermelon, cut into small chunks (6 cups)
1/4 cup sugar
Grated peel of 1 lime
Pinch salt
1/2 cup light corn syrup
(For a change: Replace the corn syrup with sweetened condensed milk to make ice cream.)
Directions:
1.Using a blender, puree the watermelon; you will need 4 cups watermelon puree.
2.In a large saucepan, bring 1 cup watermelon puree, the sugar and lime peel to a simmer over medium-low heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves; season with the salt. Pour in the remaining 3 cups watermelon puree, then whisk in the corn syrup until incorporated. Pour the watermelon mixture into a 9-inch metal cake pan and freeze until firm, about 4 hours or overnight.
3.Let the frozen watermelon soften at room temperature for 5 minutes. Using a butter knife, break up the frozen puree into 2-inch pieces. Transfer the pieces to a food processor in batches and pulse until smooth. Store the sorbet in a freezer-safe container for up to 1 week. Let stand for 5 minutes before scooping.
It is in the freezer ready for dessert tonight. I'll let you know.
