You must make this dessert while watermelons are in season! It is like candy on a spoon. When I buy a watermelon, I cut it into bite size pieces to put in a container for the fridge. Once the container is full the rest of the watermelon goes into a freezer bag to later become Watermelon Sorbet.
Watermelon Sorbet
By Whole life Nutrition Kitchen
4 to 5 cups frozen (seedless) watermelon chunks
the juice of one lime
1/3 cup honey or agave nectar
1/8 teaspoon guar gum
Place all ingredients into a food processor fitted with the "s" blade and pulse. (I used my Vitamix and it worked great) Continue to process then pulse until all of the chunks have become a smooth sorbet. The pulsing is really the trick here, so if the watermelon chunks just are not breaking down, turn off your machine, then pulse. Taste and add more sweetener if necessary. Pulse again.
You can serve it right away or scoop it out and freeze for a few hours in a container. Use an ice cream scoop to serve.

I do something similar with other frozen fruits--hadn't thought of watermelon and will have to try it. I add milk (and often some avocado when I use red berries and the family doesn't notice). What is the guar gum for?
ReplyDeleteGuar gum is primarily ground endosperm of guar beans. It's a pale, finely ground powder. It is used as a thickener or binder when added to food. It makes the sorbet smoother and helps it not separate when it's frozen. You can make it with out and it will not affect the taste. You can also use xantham gum which is another binding agent.
