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.

This was a very tasty sorbet. I took another reviewer's suggestion and used half Limoncello and half vodka which turned out very well. I also cut the sugar in half and it was plenty sweet enough. I know Alton loves to measure by weight, I only wish he would give approximate conversions for recipes like this where proportions don't need to be exact! I do not know what 1lb. 5 oz. of watermelon looks like so I just had to guess. I do not have an ice cream maker so I tried a technique I found in another recipe where I poured the puree into a 9x13 pan, let it freeze for 4 hours and then cut the frozen mixture up into small cubes and put them in the food processor. I was very pleased with the results.

I really enjoyed this sorbet. I also only used about half the recommended sugar - the watermelon was plenty sweet already. This will definitely be in my regular dessert rotation this summer. It's very refreshing. By the way, this is probably totally sacrilegious, but adding a scoop of this sorbet to a glass of cheap champagne makes a darn good cocktail.

Glad I read the reviews and used less sugar - 1/2 the amount was more than enough. But it is definitely a keeper.

My husband and his family raved about this sorbet when we made it for a birthday party recently. It was a nice change from homemade ice cream and was really easy to fix, even for 20 people. I think I got 4-5 batches out of the good-sized seedless watermelon I used.
We'll be trying this with other fruits, too. Thanks, all, for the tip to use less sugar - I used about 1/2 cup per batch, and that worked out great.
