Do you crave something sweet and nutritious on a hot summer day? Look no further than this surprisingly simple watermelon sorbet recipe! <\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"watermelon<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

Watermelon is not only full of flavor, but its vitamins and minerals can help you stay healthy and hydrated in the heat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Freezing it just makes it even more refreshing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don't toss the watermelon rind!<\/strong> Save it to make Watermelon Rind Preserves<\/a> and impress your friends and family. Yes, watermelon flavored jam and it is amazing!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Three ingredients for Watermelon Sorbet<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The key to making this recipe great is finding a melon that has a lot of flavor and natural sweetness. The sweeter the melon, the better the sorbet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Besides watermelon the only other ingredients you need are lemon juice and sweetener.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I used sugar, but you can use your favorite sugar substitute including honey, agave, stevia, sucralose, erythritol, etc. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sorbet versus Ice Cream<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Sorbet and ice cream are both frozen treats and prepared in the same way. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While ice cream can be fruit flavored or not, sorbet is always made with fruit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another key difference is the addition of dairy products. Sorbet is naturally dairy free made from sweetened water and your favorite fruit with a splash of acid (usually lemon juice). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Equipment Needed for Sorbet<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To make sorbet you will need an ice cream maker like this one<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you do not have one you can process it in a blender or food processor after freezing.<\/p>\n\n\n
