A warm summer in the Pacific Northwest is a great time to enjoy other recipes using watermelon. This recipe is mixed with lemonade for a refreshing summer cooler. I suppose you could also just eat it as an iced watermelon treat. If you're extra crafty, you can peel the limes with a vegetable peeler and reserve the lime peel to make candied citrus peels.
Makes 1 quart.
Ingredients
6 c seedless watermelon, cut into chunks
1/4 c lime juice (3 limes)
1/2 c organic granulated sugar
Directions
1. Wash and juice three limes. Strain out the pulp and set aside.
2. In the bowl of a 7-cup food prep, add sugar and lime juice. Then fill the bowl with watermelon chunks. Purée until smooth.
3. Pour into a 9" x 13" glass baking dish. Place dish in the freezer.
4. When frozen, use the tines of a fork to scrape the frozen purée into granita.
Scoop into tall glasses and fill with lemonade. Enjoy.
The only difference between this and watermelon sorbet, is that the latter has added water and is processed in an ice cream machine.
