Easy Melon Ice
Yield: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 1 medium cantaloupe, honeydew or 1/4 watermelon (for about 4 1/2 cups diced)
- 1/2 cup orange juice
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
Instructions
- Seed and dice the melon.
- Stir together the citrus juice and sugar until mixture is fully liquid (sugar needn't be completely dissolved).
- In batches, if necessary, puree melon with the sugar mixture and any liquid from dicing. (A blender is best for this; if using a food processor, keep at it a while, scraping and stirring occasionally, to produce a puree, not just
chopped melon). Taste and add sugar if necessary.
- Freeze in ice cream freezer following manufacturer's directions for sorbet.
- If you don't have an ice cream freezer, pour mixture into shallow bowl and freeze 3 hours or until firm, then scoop into a mixer bowl and beat with an electric mixer about 10 seconds.
- Refreeze.
