Instructions
Muskmelon sorbet
  1. Place melon cubes on a shallow tray /container in one layer. Cover it with a lid or plastic sheet and keep it in freezer for four hours. Keeping the cubes in one layer makes it easier to separate them when frozen.
  2. When the melon cubes are frozen take them out from freezer. Put them in a blender jar. ( make sure that blades of the jar are strong enough to blend frozen melon cubes). Add lemon juice, sugar, lemon zest, and salt. First use pulse button of your mixer to break melon cubes. If required add some water. If the cubes are not very tough, they break easily and you will not need to add water. Blend the mixture till you get soft gooey pulp. Pour the pulp in an airtight container and keep it in freezer for four hours. Melon sorbet is ready. Scoop out required amount and serve in ice cream cup / bowl.
Watermelon sorbet
  1. Deseed all the watermelon cubes. Place them in a shallow tray/container in one layer. Cover the cubes with plastic sheet or lid, and freeze for four hours.
  2. Put the frozen watermelon cubes in a mixie jar. Add sugar, lemon juice, mint leaves, and black salt. Churn the contents first using pulse option and then using regular churning option. When smooth consistency is reached, pour out the contents in an airtight container. Freeze for four hours. Watermelon sorbet is ready. Scoop out required amount in an ice cream cup and serve. You may use mint leaves to decorate the sorbet.
Recipe Notes
  • Time taken to freeze the melon cubes may differ in different conditions. Check and decide how much time is required in your case. The cubes should be just frozen and  not too hard.
  • If the cubes become too hard, keep them at room temperature for 10 minutes. They will soften up.
