Easy Cantaloupe Sorbet

Cantaloupe Sorbet
I went with mom to the nearby shop. While she chose such beautiful bright green peppers, I chose a large, ripe (slightly soft) and beautiful cantaloupe. According to the experts in our family.. choosing a successful Cantaloupe has 2 main parameters - a good smell, also, its shell will be beautiful. At home it turned out that the cantaloupe was really successful.


 Making Sorbet/Ice cream at home has several advantages:
Only natural ingredients.
Quality ingredients.
A large variety of flavors + so nice shades/colors.
The easy preparation, along with the fact that some types of sorbet/Ice cream require advance preparation.
Sugar syrup, which is the basis for a large part of the sorbet, can be prepared in a large quantity that will be enough for several sorbets. The syrup should be kept in the refrigerator in a jar, it will also keep well for several months.
Great satisfaction from the process of making the sorbet/Ice cream.
It's fun to serve a cool and SO GOOD dessert made by yourself :-) .
In the summer, a portion of sorbet during the day is delicious and very refreshing.
And yes, it's very tasty, more than it looks in the photos  :-).

Cantaloupe Sorbet - the recipe
For 800 grams sorbet. (the cost is low it includes the price of the Cantaloupe + 200 grams sugar).
A day before preparing the sorbet or a few hours before , we'll make the sugar syrup:
Boil 1 measuring cup of white sugar (200 grams) with 1 measuring cup of water. Stir to dissolve the sugar and bring to boil. Cook for 4 minutes at moderate heat.
Remove from the flame, cool on the counter and then in the refrigerator until the syrup is very cold.
-
Choose a cantaloupe weighing at least 1 kg. Wash and wipe it. Store in the refrigerator until use.
Cut the Cantaloupe and remove seeds and peel.
Cut the Cantaloupe into pieces and put in a food processor (or a blender), grind to a smooth mixture.
(Net weight of the Cantaloupe is about 600 grams).
Add to the food processor the cold sugar syrup (the weight of the syrup is 300 ml) and 1 measuring spoon of freshly squeezed lemon juice, process for another minute. (of course you can process all the ingredients together at first).
Transfer the mixture to a sorbet/ice cream machine, run according to the manufacturer's instructions until you get a sorbet.
Transfer the sorbet to a freezer container and freeze for two hours or overnight.
Remove from the freezer 8 minutes before serving, use an ice cream scoop to scoop out sorbet balls.
