The heat of summer has even the most dedicated cook swearing off the kitchen. If it can't be prepared without turning on the oven or stove, it's quite possibly not worth eating (at least at the moment). So what's a blogger to do when she wants to create a post to share but doesn't want to start a battle between the oven and the air-conditioner? Make a frozen treat! Even if it does require a little stove top cooking, these fruity, sweet treat is totally worth making. And possibly worth a little brain freeze to enjoy. The lime flavor gently cuts the sweetness of the watermelon, but still lets the fruity flavor shine through. And a frosty dessert is always a win in the July heat.
I got into the habit of picking up a watermelon whenever they were on sale this summer. I'm so glad I did because they've been exceptionally sweet. While I haven't grown tired of munching on chunks of fruit, when this recipe came into my Pinterest arena, I knew I'd be making it right away. Shaina from Food for My Family did an adorable thing by scooping out the pulp of the watermelon and freezing the sorbet in the rind so that she could create sorbet slices. While cute, it looked like a lot of work for just us to enjoy at home. Although I may try it for a party in the future. Shaina's recipe is great and I did adjust the sugar a touch since the watermelon was plenty sweet, but otherwise it's straightforward. It you're looking to cool off, look no further than this tasty, fruity sorbet.
