WATERMELON ICE
1/2 medium watermelon
2/3 c. sugar
1/3 c. orange juice
1 Tbsp. lemon juice
1 envelope unflavored gelatin
1/2 c. cold water
Scoop out the pulp and remove the seeds from the water-
melon. Place 2 cups of the pulp in a blender. Cover and blend
until smooth. Transfer puree to bowl. Repeat with enough of
the pulp to measure 6 cups. Stir in sugar, orange juice and
lemon juice. In a small saucepan, soften the gelatin in water.
Heat and stir until dissolved. Add gelatin to watermelon
mixture. Stir until combined. Pour mixture into a 9 x 13-inch
container and cool completely. Cover and freeze for 2 hours,
stirring each hour. Transfer half of partially frozen mixture
to a medium mixing bowl and return other remaining half to
freezer. Beat mixture in bowl with an electric mixer on medium
until light and fluffy. Pour mixture into a 1/2-gallon freezer
container. Repeat all steps with remaining half of mixture.
Cover and freeze 4 to 6 hours until firm. Let stand at room
temperature for 15 to 20 minutes before serving. Makes about 2
quarts.
