Sorbetto di Anguria -- Watermelon Sherbet


It's hard to imagine anything more refreshing than chilled watermelon, but this will be.

  • 1 1/8 pounds (500 g) watermelon pulp
  • 1/2 cup (100 g) sugar
  • 1/3 cup (80 ml) water
  • 1/3 cup (80 ml) heavy cream
  • The juice of a lemon

Put the watermelon through a strainer and into a bowl, discarding the seeds. Combine the juice and pulp in the bowl with the juice of the lemon and blend the mixture.

Heat the sugar with a couple of tablespoons of water, and a couple more of watermelon juice, and let the syrup cool. Whip the cream. Combine all the ingredients, folding the cream in carefully lest it deflate, and pour the mixture into the ice cream machine.
