Description
A refreshing twist on late-summer sweetness.
Ingredients
Scale
- ½ cup sugar
- ¼ cup light corn syrup
- ¼ cup water
- 2 1/2 pounds cantaloupe or honeydew melon—peeled, seeded, and cut into 1-inch pieces
- 2 cups husk cherries, husk removed
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, combine the sugar, corn syrup, and water and bring to a boil. Cook over moderate heat until the sugar dissolves, about 2 minutes.
- Remove from the heat. Let stand until cool, 30 minutes.
- In a blender, puree the cantaloupe and husk cherries until smooth. You should have 3 cups of puree.
- Stir in the sugar syrup. Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and freeze according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
- Pack the melon sorbet into an airtight plastic container. Press a sheet of plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the sorbet, cover, and freeze until firm, about 4 hours. Scoop into bowls and serve.
**If you do not have an ice cream machine, you can add the sorbet mixture to a large ziplock freezer bag and freeze for 8 hours, shaking the bag every hour or so.
