NEXT RECIPE:  WATERMELON SLUSH

WATERMELON GRANITE 
5 cups peeled and seeded watermelon chunks (from about a 3-pound slice of watermelon)
˝ cup plus 2 tablespoon sugar
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice

Place the watermelon chunks in the bowl of a blender or food processor, replace the top and blend on high speed until very smooth. Turn the blender off.

Transfer the watermelon puree to a mixing bowl and add the sugar and lime juice. Stir with a wooden spoon until the sugar is completely dissolved, about 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer the mixing bowl to the freezer and freeze for 30 minutes.

Remove the bowl from the freezer and use a fork to scrape any ice crystals from the sides of the bowl. Stir to incorporate the crystals. Return to the freezer.

Repeat the scraping procedure every 30 minutes, or until the consistency is “snowy” when scraped with a fork or spoon, at least 4 hours.

Then scoop into bowls or dessert glasses and serve.

This recipe was 'off the chain'. I purchased a 'Mississippi black diamond' watermelon about two weeks ago and though it was incredibly juicy, it was not as sweet as I expected it to be. The recipe was simple enough. My husband and I enjoyed a glass before freezing it and again after a dinner of spicy seafood jambalaya. Thanks!!!
