Watermelon Sorbet

[Guest guest]

How does watermelon freeze? Seems like there just wouldn't be anything there

after freezing??

I just scoop the watermelon and place a spoonful in each space of an ice cube tray (they help keep the scoops separated). It took about a tray and a half to equal 3 cups. I had some left over so froze some more to reach 3 cups again.There is plenty left after freezing. I also freeze the watermelon juice that we usually either drink or toss…

I get watermelon already cut into cubes. Next order i'm getting three containers, two to freeze and one not as Lee Ann directed. I can't wait to try it. Yum, I love watermelon.TerrySent from my iPadOn Jul 10, 2011, at 7:35 PM, Lea Ann Savage <lsavage@...> wrote:

I've been freezing watermelon chunks in gallon plastic bags in a " layer " . They

touch and sometimes there are 1.5-2 layers, but they are easy to break apart for

me if they freeze together somewhat. I've done this with cucumbers, grapes,

bananas, and halved oranges too. I find this easier than freezing in single

layers on a cookie sheet because I have virtually no room in the freezer. I

just lay the bag flat-ish wherever I have room. When frozen, I can then shove

the bag wherever it fits.

I also washed and dried baby spinach, packed a gallon bag, and froze it. I

crush the spinach a bit with my hands and take what I need for green smoothies.

This makes it easy for me to keep a lot of different things on hand for green

smoothies and I don't have to use ice cubes. And after I use up the fruits, I

just refill with new fruit and freeze if I want to reuse the bag.

I have also pureed watermelon and frozen it in ice cube trays, but doing the bag

freezing is easier and less work.

I do the exact same thing with fresh produce that I freeze (sometimes it's easier and cheaper to buy it frozen); I try to push as much air out of the bags as possible, too. I find it works really well and as you noted, breaks apart quite easily although I've never made smoothies with frozen greens.

I also try to buy organic/pesticide free greens at Farmer's Markets. Plus my

eyes are sometimes bigger than my stomach when I shop so I freeze what I can't

eat quickly.

Today I made a green " ice cream " with the frozen spinach, frozen cucumber,

frozen watermelon, frozen grapes, frozen banana, hemp powder, 1 fresh carrot,

water, and cran-raspberry juice.

Ah yes, I also froze cut up fresh carrots as well in a bag. I bought a 10 pound

bag which didn't fit in my refrigerator crisper drawer very well. I meant to

make carrot juice, but alas, big eyes again.

I don’t know how you can freeze extra things I never have enough room in the freezer and I refuse to buy a separate freezer as I am always trying to keep things full and as it is I have trouble rotating what I already have frozen. My wife keeps telling me she is going to ban me from the warehouse clubs.
