Cantaloupe sorbet

Cantaloupe Sorbet
From Taste of Home J/J 2010

1 Cup Sugar
1 Cup Water

4 Cups cubed cantaloupe
2 Tablespoons lemon juice

Boil sugar and water together to make a simple syrup. Put in the fridge to chill.

Put cantaloupe, lemon juice & syrup in food processor (I used the blender) for 2-3 minutes until blended.

Put in ice cream maker if you have it. I put mine in a cake pan in the freezer, with periodic beatings with a fork.

Oh, my goodness! That sounds delicious! I didn't plant any cantaloupe this year, but there's an old man who sells them from his garden and we always buy several. When they're on, I'm going to try this!

[Valerie]

Definitely do! I tasted it when I was giving it a stir and it is amazing! I could sit down right now with the container and just have that for supper. And this didn't even use half of the cantaloupe I bought last night (one fruit!).

Today I was so hot when we came home, I scooped a good bit of this sorbet into a glass and filled it the rest of the way with sweet tea. Y'all! It was so good! It was like a slushie but so much better. If any of you make this, please try the tea thing, too.

Oh, heck yeah! That sounds refreshing!
