I’m saying goodbye to Summer with this light and refreshing dessert. Sorbets are so simple to make, but they deliver on bold fruit flavor, which is exactly what I’m craving as I savor these last warm days of the year.

Ingredients
4 cups cubed (1 inch) watermelon, seeds and rind discarded
1 cup sugar
1 cup water
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

1. To make simple syrup, heat sugar and water over medium heat in a small saucepan, stirring until sugar has dissolved. Remove from heat and let cool.
2. Puree the watermelon cubes in a food processor with lemon juice and simple syrup.
3. Freeze in an ice cream maker and place in an airtight container in the freezer until mixture is frozen.
