1 ts Unflavored gelatin
4 c Watermelon cubes
2 tb Lime juice (or lemon)
2 tb Honey
Lime twists for garnish
In a micro-safe cup, soften gelatin in 2 tb water by
heating briefly. Stir until gelatin is dissolved.
(Suggestion: cut up melon in a sieve to catch the
seeds, over a bowl to catch the juice or you will have
lots of juice around the cutting board.) In a blender
container, combine 1 cup of melon cubes, lime (or
lemon) juice, honey and gelatin mixture. Cover and
blend at high speed for 30 sec or until smooth.
Add remaining melon in batches, cover and blend at
high speed until smooth. Pour into a 8x8x2" pan and
freeze until almost firm.
Remove from freezer and transfer mixture to a large
chilled bowl. Beat at high speed with an electric
mixer or food processor until smooth. Return to pan
or pour into serving size cups or pour into plastic
ice cube trays and freeze several hours until firm.
To serve let stand 15-20 min at room temperature.
Scrape surface (if you used 8x8 pan) and spoon into
serving dishes. Garnish.
