Ingredients
  

  • 1 LARGE very ripe Cantaloupe
  • 1 Cup Water
  • 1 Cup Sugar or agave syrup
  • 1 tsp lemon zest
  • Juice from two Limes about 1/4 cup

  • 1.In a saucepan bring water,sugar (or agave), lemon zest and lime juice to a boil. When the sugar is melted turn off heat and let cool.
  • 2.Peel, cut and puree the cataloupe to liquid and place in a bowl. Probably this will need to be done in several batches.
  • 3. When cooled add the water, sugar mixture and stir**
  • 4. Cover the bowl with Saran wrap and place in the freezer.
  • 5. Every hour remove the bowl from the freezer and stir the mix until it is close to frozen.
  • 6. After about 7 hours the sorbet should be ready. Scoop out with a melon baller or ice scream scooper and serve as desert or Apertive.

Notes

**GRADUALLY ADD THE SIMPLE SYRUP. DO NOT ADD ALL AT ONCE - ADD HALF AND THEN TASTE TO SEE HOW SWEET IT IS. YOU WANT IT TO BE SLIGHTLY SWEETER THAN YOU WOULD NORMALLY EAT BECAUSE THE SWEETNESS WILL LESSEN DURING THE FREEZING PROCESS!
