Watermelon Ice

Oh let me tell you, this icey, fruity, blissfully amazing dessert will be a perfect way to end a cook out or relax on a hot summer day.

Go ahead, give it a try, you wont be sorry.

Whatcha need:

1 cup sugar
1-1/4 cups water
6 cups cubed watermelon

How ya make it come to life:

Bring sugar and water to a boil. Cook and stir until sugar is completely dissolved. Set it aside while you work on the melon.

1) This part is fun, ohhh yea..... Cut the middle out of a watermelon unless that will make someone really mad. In that case–just cut out enough chunks to measure about 6 cups.

2) Now, drop about 1/3 of the pieces in the blender at a time and pulse on low. We don’t want to grind up any seeds.

3) Pour it into a strainer and press out the juice. Discard all the pulp and seeds.

4)  Once you’ve finished you should have about 3 cups of beautiful, sparkling watermelon juice.

5) Now, transfer it into an 8-in. square dish and stir in the hot sugar syrup. Let it cool to about room temperature then set it in the freezer for about an hour.

6) Take it out and stir it into pieces with a fork. Now re-freeze for about 2-3 hours longer or until completely frozen, stirring every 30 minutes or so with a fork or metal spatula.

7) Stir again just before spooning into dessert dishes. It should make about 8 luscious servings.
