I love melon fresh and what we haven't been able to use I've been freezing for smoothies when its past it's peak. This week I had a lovely honeydew and decided to try something new, although I think it would work equally well with any kind of melon.
Big Mama's Melon Sorbet
2 pounds of any kind of melon
1 small 6 oz. can of pineapple juice (could use any sweet fruit juice)
3/4 cup flavored fizzy water (I used pomegranate)
1/2 cup grenadine for color and added sweetness
Puree all ingredients in a food processor or blender. I have this one and I love it!
Pour mixture through a strainer and into your ice cream maker. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for timing. Mine took 20 minutes.
I've heard you can freeze sorbets in a glass casserole dish in your normal freezer, then fluff it up with a fork before serving, but I haven't tried it.
The Little Mouths love this served in a glass, slightly melted like one of those slushies from 7-11 that I don't allow the Big Little Mouth to have since they make her act like a circus act! Red dye and sugar are not her friend...but with this sorbet, nary a issue with behavior and that makes Big Mama very happy indeed.
