Watermelon Ice
Place the water and sugar in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Remove from heat and allow to cool to room temperature, stirring frequently. Set the pan in a bowl of ice and continue to stir the syrup until cold.
Place the watermelon, syrup, and lime juice in a blender and puréee until smooth.
Pour the puréee through a sieve into a 9-inch baking pan. Cover the pan with foil.
Freeze the pur�e for 8 hours or until frozen.
To serve, scrape the frozen pur�e with the tines of a fork. Spoon the scrapings into pretty glass goblets and garnish with a small piece of watermelon or mint sprigs.
Serves 6–8
An ice is just that — ice. In this case the ice comes mainly from a watermelon, not water. The result is a dessert that looks like pink snow, with a delicate taste that is sure to please on a hot, humid day.
