Watermelon Sorbet

Hi this time of year here in Cyprus we have a glut of Watermelons, not sure glut is the right word actually think it should be Gut by the size of some of them!
I don't actually buy any, John gets given them all the time when hes out and about.
Anyway, with our first Watermelon of the season, we usually just have it chilled and sliced with honey and natural yogurt for breakfast. There is nothing nicer than sitting on the patio eating a healthy breakfast of fresh Watermelon.
But after a week or so, you do get a bit fed up of eating the same day after day, so what do you do?

A good option is Watermelon Sorbet and for this receipe you dont need an Ice Cream maker.

These ingredients serve about 12 people, but add or subtract quantities to suit.

Ingredients:

1/2 Cup Sugar
3/4 Cup Water
6 Cups of Watermelon Chunks, seeded
2 Tbs Lime Juice

Method:
1. Combine Sugar and Water in a suitably sized Saucepan.  Bring to the boil over a medium head, stirring to dissolve the sugar.  Reduce heat to its lowest setting and simmer for 5 minutes.  Remove from the heat and leave to cool, then cover and chill in Fridge for about an hour.
2. Put Watermelon and Lime Juice in a Food Processor, I just use my cordless hand mixer and a large bowl. Then sieve over another large bowl, pressing the puree through to remove the seeds. Then whisk in the chilled Sugar/Syrup mix.
3. Pour the Watermelon into suitable container, I use old Ice Cream Tubs and share the mix between them. Put in freezer for about 30 minutes until ice crystals form around the edges, then sir the ice crystals towards the centre, repeating every 20 minutes until all the liquid is frozen.

Its now ready to eat, or you can leave it in the freezer until your ready to eat it.
