Sorbet, Cantaloupe Food-Processor

Source of Recipe

Urban chickpea


Recipe Introduction

Makes about 1 quart

List of Ingredients

5 cups of cubed cantaloupe or muskmelon, rind and seeds removed (from 1 small melon)
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup water
1 sprig mint
juice from 2 limes
juice from 1 lemon
pinch of salt



Recipe

1. In a small pot, heat the sugar, water and mint, until the sugar just dissolves. Set aside to cool. Then discard the mint sprig.

2. In a food processor or blender, puree the melon, sugar water, lime juice, lemon juice and salt until very smooth. Pour this into a glass baking dish and put in the freezer for at least 4 hours or until frozen. Stir occasionally; it will make the final step much easier.

3. Take the baking dish out of the freezer and let it sit on the counter for at least 5 minutes. Using a spoon or a knife, break up the frozen mixture and put it into a food processor. Pulse to break up the ice crystals, then puree until smooth and velvety. Scoop and serve directly from the food processor. Store any extra in a container in the freezer and just let it sit for a few minutes on the counter before scooping.
