Watermelon Ice

1 (3 lb.) watermelon, chilled
1 tbsp. fresh lemon juice
1/3 cup water
1/2 cup sugar

Directions:

In a small saucepan simmer water with sugar, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Transfer syrup to a bowl set in a larger bowl of ice and cold water and stir until cold. Discard rind from melon and cut into 1-inch chunks. In a blender purée watermelon, syrup and lemon juice and pour though a fine sieve into a 9-inch square metal baking pan, pressing hard on the solids with the back of a spoon. Freeze mixture, covered until frozen, 6-8 hours. Just before serving, scrape watermelon ice with a fork to break up ice crystals and lighten texture.

Comments from einar :

I have made it with other types of melon and it works just fine.

User Reviews:

This was pretty easy to make and the ingredents were not exotic. Froze well and tastes like watermelon (I wonder why). All around good.
