Charentais Melon Sorbet

Directions

First you need to make the simple syrup. In a sauce pot, pour in the water and add the sugar. Give it a quick stir. Over high heat, cook the sugar water until just boiling. Remove from the heat and let stand until completely cooled.

In a blender, puree the melon and add 8 ounces of the simple syrup. Blend until smooth. You can adjust the sweetness by using more or less of the simple syrup.  Place in ice cream machine and chill following machine instructions.  Cure well in your freezer, about 2 hours, before serving.

Note:

Fresh raspberries and a mint leaf make for a nice garnish.
