Ingredients
- 1 whole (about 4-5 lbs) Honeydew melon
- 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
- 0.25 cups Water
Directions
Step 1
Slice the honeydew melon in half and remove the seeds with a spoon.
Step 2
Cut the melon into slices and remove the rind. Chop the flesh into small cubes.
Step 3
Place the honeydew cubes in a blender or food processor and blend until completely smooth.
Step 4
In a small saucepan, combine the granulated sugar and water. Heat over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar dissolves completely to form a syrup. Remove from heat and let it cool to room temperature.
Step 5
Add the cooled syrup and fresh lime juice to the honeydew puree. Blend again to combine thoroughly.
Step 6
Pour the mixture into a shallow, freezer-safe container and freeze for 1 hour.
Step 7
After 1 hour, remove the container from the freezer. Use a fork to scrape and mix the partially frozen mixture to break up ice crystals. Repeat this process every 30 minutes for 2-3 hours, until the sorbet is smooth and scoopable.
Step 8
Once the sorbet reaches your desired consistency, serve immediately or transfer it to an airtight container and freeze until ready to serve.
Step 9
Scoop the honeydew sorbet into bowls or cones, and enjoy your homemade treat!
