Total Time: 30 mins Preparation Time: 30 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 6
• 1 large ripe crenshaw melon, peeled, seeded, and cut into 2- to 3-inch chunks
• 1/3 cup fresh raspberries or 1/3 cup fresh strawberries
• 1/2 cup vodka or 1/2 cup framboise eau-de-vie
• 1 -2 teaspoon sugar

Recipe

• 1 toss the melon into a blender or food processor and process until it forms a thick, chunky liquid. pour into a separate bowl.
• 2 add the raspberries to the blender or processor and add about half the liquefied melon. blend until smooth. pour through a strainer, and repeat with the remaining melon until you have a light pink melony-tasting mixture with a hint of raspberry.
• 3 stir in the vodka or a framboise eau-de-vie and a teaspoon or so of sugar, as needed, to make the liquid just a touch on the sweet side, as freezing it will reduce its sweetness.
• 4 freeze in an ice cream freezer according to the manufacturer’s directions.
• 5 serve immediately or transfer to a microwave-safe freezer container and store in the freezer. the sorbet will become very hard. to soften before serving, microwave on high for 1 minute 15 seconds to 1 minute 30 seconds.
