Watermelon Sorbet
Simple syrup is easy to prepare and keeps forever. I always have some on hand for certain cocktails and to brush on layer cakes before icing. Here it is used to sweeten Watermelon Sorbet.

Ingredients
8 cups cubed watermelon, seeds and rind discarded
1 cup
simple syrup
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

Method
Purée the watermelon cubes in a food processor. Measure 4 cups of the puree and place in a bowl. Add the simple syrup and lemon juice and stir well. Freeze in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions.
