Flavor #40 - Watermelon Sorbet

This was my first time working with watermelon and it took a few tries to get this how I wanted it. There are lots of recipes out there using varying amounts of melon, water, sugar and other fruit combinations. The first time out, using a seedless watermelon, I got something that resembled watermelon by color but what tasted like cucumber. Now don't get me wrong, I love cucumber and hope to do a few cucumber based flavors (They're great in smoothies!), but I really wanted this to taste like watermelon. I am blaming the white seeds in the seedless watermelon as they do look like the seeds you would find in a cucumber.

3 Cups of Watermelon

1/2 Cup of Double Simple Syrup

1/2 a Lemon, Squeezed

6 Strawberries, Juiced - about 1/4 Cup

I liked this so much I gave myself a brain freeze!

Enjoy!
