The Keels are excited about this Battle. We bought Chris an ice cream maker for his birthday four years ago and it has been one of the greatest kitchen gadgets we have ever purchased. In the beginning, I would make completely organic ice cream. It felt great to make it and tasted great to eat it. Then I calculated the cost of one batch - approximately $65 - and the contraption found itself on a shelf. Luckily the hiatus was short lived. With a few minor adjustments to the ingredients we have been enjoying it yet again.
Our friends from Portland are coming into town to judge this month so we decided to brainstorm over this homemade watermelon sorbet ;) No better way to kick off July's battle.
Watermelon Sorbet
Everything into a blender
3.5 cups watermelon chunks
6 oz pineapple juice
Juice of three limes
3/4 cup simple syrup (1/2 cup sugar and 1/2 cup water simmered on the stove until sugar has dissolved)
1/2 cup fizzy lifting drink (O.K. this is just carbonated water - but we have seen Charlie and the Chocolate Factory one to many times)
Blend and then put into your new ice cream maker you ran out and bought and follow its instructions.
Then if you are like Atticus and Adam, put some chocolate chips on top. Because ... why wouldn't you?
