Ingredients
- 1 large ripe cantaloupe
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup water
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 0.125 teaspoon salt
Directions
Step 1
Cut the cantaloupe in half and scoop out the seeds using a spoon. Slice each half into wedges and carefully remove the rind.
Step 2
Dice the cantaloupe into smaller pieces and measure out about 4 cups of cantaloupe flesh.
Step 3
In a small saucepan, combine the granulated sugar and water. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring until the sugar completely dissolves. This will create a simple syrup. Remove from heat and allow it to cool completely.
Step 4
In a blender or food processor, combine the cantaloupe pieces, cooled simple syrup, fresh lime juice, and salt. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth.
Step 5
Strain the blended mixture through a fine mesh strainer into a large bowl to remove any pulp or fibers. Discard the solids.
Step 6
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the mixture for at least 2 hours, or until well chilled.
Step 7
Once chilled, pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions, usually 20-25 minutes, until the sorbet has a smooth and fluffy texture.
Step 8
Transfer the sorbet into an airtight container and freeze for at least 2 hours to firm up before serving.
Step 9
Scoop the Heavenly Cantaloupe Sorbet into serving bowls or cones and enjoy immediately. Store any leftovers in the freezer for up to one week.
