Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 whole (about 4-5 lbs) Honeydew melon
- 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
- 0.25 cups Water
Instructions
Slice the honeydew melon in half and remove the seeds with a spoon.
Cut the melon into slices and remove the rind. Chop the flesh into small cubes.
Place the honeydew cubes in a blender or food processor and blend until completely smooth.
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.
Add the cooled syrup and fresh lime juice to the honeydew puree. Blend again to combine thoroughly.
Pour the mixture into a shallow, freezer-safe container and freeze for 1 hour.
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.
Once the sorbet reaches your desired consistency, serve immediately or transfer it to an airtight container and freeze until ready to serve.
Scoop the honeydew sorbet into bowls or cones, and enjoy your homemade treat!
