    Wow was this good!! I also halved the sugar (depends on the sweetness of your watermelon and tasted before I froze it to check if it was enough. I also didn't have an ice cream maker so I followed the directions mentioned on an earlier review to freeze mixture for 4 hours in glass 9x13 pan then cut into chunks and food process then refreeze. Worked like a charm!!

    You can easily cut the sugar down to 1/2 cup or less. Otherwise it comes out tasting like a liquid cotton candy. For those that dont like to go by weight, when I use watermelon I use 3 cups of pureed (liquified watermelon and about 1/2 cup sugar. I also use watermelon flavored schnapps. This is far too sweet a dessert for me but other people seem to love it.
