Start with a juicy, ripe seedless watermelon. You need about 5 cups cubed which was 1/4 of a large melon. 

I placed the cubes in the freezer for a couple hours so they are icy and not mushy when blended. 

Bring water and sugar to a boil in a small saucepan. Stir until sugar dissolves. Let cool.

When you are ready to make the sorbet add cubed watermelon, sugar water, and lemon juice to a blender or food processor.

Blend until smooth.

Pour into a pan then cover and place in the freezer for at least 4 hours up to overnight. 

When you are ready to serve remove from the freezer about 10-15 minutes early to soften.

This delicious dessert can be made with most soft fruits. My kids love cherry sorbet too!

Scoop into cups or cones and enjoy your cool treat!
