SWEET
Watermelon Sorbet
We are lucky enough to enjoy Hermiston watermelons here in Oregon, which are grown near the Columbia River and find their way to local markets every August. The eastern part of our state has hot, dry summers, perfect for growing succulent, delicious melons. Felix decided to make some sorbet with one of these beautiful watermelons, and it couldn’t be easier for you to do the same! Watermelon sorbet hits the spot on a hot summer evening. You might find yourself making this again and again after tasting it for the first time. Have fun with this recipe, and give it a try with other summer fruits, like peaches or cantaloupe in place of watermelon. It is so easy to make and it’s always a hit at summer gatherings!
