Watermelon Sorbette

I originally made a delicious looking watermelon sorbette (alternate spelling. It would be spelled "sor-BAY" if it was meant to be pronounced that way!) but I didn't take pictures of anything but the finished drink. This is a remake of that recipe for photographs.

We start with getting some watermelon.

Then it's blended into a puree.

Now I heat sugar water and boil out the water to make a kind of glaze for it.

I pour the glaze onto the watermelon and then chill it. It's SUPPOSED to go in an ice cream machine but where do I get one of those?

Instead I just put it in a wide bowl and break it up at intervals to stop it from being a chunk of ice. Here's what I get.

 Not too bad for substitute ice cream. But I make a mess of pouring it.

I put the rest of the watermelon back in the freezer for it to get more solid. Then I quit checking on it and was left with a chunk of ice to make sorbet out of.

A fork works great to break it up.

It's like a watermelon slush.

The bowl looks really pretty when zoomed in.

At this point I think I got tired and just ate it. But from the pictures of my first watermelon sorbet, you can see it gets really pretty.

I should become a food photographer.
