Watermelon
Cuisine: Italian
Yields: 4 to 6 servings
Prep time: 15 min
Ingredients:
1/2 cup granulated
sugar
4 1/2 cups fresh pureed watermelon pulp (seeds removed), divided*
1/8 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons freshly-squeezed
lemon juice
or lime juice (your choice)
2 tablespoons Anisette Liqueur
* Puree watermelon in a food processor or blender.
Preparation:
In a medium saucepan over medium-high
heat, combine sugar, 1/2 cup watermelon juice, and ssalt; bring to a boil.
Boil 30 to 45 seconds sugar completely dissolves. Remove from heat and let
stand approximately 10 minutes. If making ahead, store in refrigerator
To the remaining 4 cups pureed watermelon pulp, add sugar syrup, lemon juice, and Anisette Liqueur; stir
until thoroughly blended.
NOTE: The Anisette (or any other type of alcohol) is the secret to a soft sorbet.
Alcohol itself does not freeze and adding a little bit keeps the sorbet from doing the
same.
Ice Cream Maker - Transfer mixture to ice cream
maker, process according to manufacturer's instructions.
Freezer Method
- Pour into container, cover, and
place mixture in the freezer. When it is semi-solid, mash it up with a fork and refreeze
again. When frozen, place in a food processor or blender and process until smooth. Cover
and refreeze until serving time.
NOTE: Can be prepared 3 days in advance. Cover and keep frozen.
Makes 4 to 6 servings.
