The only problem with watermelon sorbet is how difficult it is to find it. If you live near a motherlode, consider yourself fortunate.

Otherwise, if you have an ice cream maker, you can make it yourself. So light and delicious, watermelon sorbet is more than worth the effort.

Use red or yellow watermelon. Fortunately, a number of breeds have been hybridized so that there are just a few, white and very light, watermelon seeds. So you don’t have to de-seed the watermelon—a time savings that makes the rest of the recipe a breeze.
