The folks in my home don't care for watermelon much! Being Southern, this is blasphemous! LOL So what do you do with a delicious, sweet and juicy watermelon? You make sorbet!
I also made watermelon martinis but that is not what this post is about!
The fresh lime juice and lime zest really brighten this sorbet right on up! I didn't change the original recipe much, maybe added a little more sugar and the juice of two limes; it depends on the sweetness of your melons. Zing! You will be hard pressed not to just drink the puree from the darn blender jar! In the past I have made flavored simple syrups, instead of water for the simple syrup, replace it with fresh juice!

Enough fresh watermelon to make 4 cups of puree, about 8 cups cubed watermelon, seeds and rind discarded1 cup simple syrup*
