Recipe
Instructions:
In a blender, blend watermelon until smooth, which will result in 5 1/2 cups puree.
If not, add more or remove watermelon to reach 5 1/2 cups puree.
Pour 1 cup puree into a small saucepan and leave the remaining in the blender.
To the saucepan, add honey granules and gelatin.
Over medium heat, while stirring, warm puree until honey granules and gelatin melt.
The mixture will not even need to reach a simmer to do this.
Simply lift a spoon of the puree up and check until graininess has diminished and a smooth, yet pulpy mixture remains.
Once dissolved, remove from heat.
To the blender, add lemon juice, vodka, sea salt and honey granule mixture.
Blend briefly to combine.
Chill in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
The mixture may be left in the blender to while chilling, if desired.
Once chilled, freeze in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Once processed, chill overnight in one large glass container or individual ramekins.
If using one large container, leave several inches for the mixture to expand.
