I followed the recipe exactly, and I, too, did not get it to set. So I poured it over ice, added rum, and had a lovely drink.

I was so excited to make this recipe! I waited for a hot day when my kids had friends over. I followed the instructions to a T. This recipe would not freeze for me. My ice cream maker said 16 minutes for sorbet, it was still pure liquid. The recipe said about 35 minutes so I left it in. It would not freeze! I put it in the freezer to solidify and it turned into an ice cube. It came out terrible for me. Not sure why:(

Really really good, and a beautiful color, too. I followed the instructions exactly, but felt like it needed something. Here's how I added a little zing. I doubled the recipe. Then I added 1 C. sugar, 1 C vodka (in addition to the ginger ale and 1 C more grenadine. I mixed everything with my immersion blender. Then I strained it all into the container for my ice cream churn. Churned for 30 minutes, then finished in the freezer. With the vodka added, it won't freeze very hard. This is fabulous on a hot summer day! I paired it with Fuzzy Navel sorbet, what a treat!

This is an excellent and simple recipe and I was glad that I finally found some way to use all of our watermelons from the garden. The taste is really good, my only issue with it was that even with using the ice cream maker, it still froze in one big block and I couldn't ever really "scoop" it, but rather flake it after microwaving for a few seconds.

I made this with the ginger ale and I really enjoyed it. It's very refreshing on a warm summer day. The next time I made it, I used the optional Dark Rum. Loved it!. I will make this when again and again. Great for entertaining.

I really enjoyed the taste of the sorbet and it was easy to make. We ended up making a triple batch of it (hurrah big ice cream maker!. The only trouble I had was that I would run across the occasional small chunk of watermelon or a white seed (from the seedless watermelon. I would recommend pureeing the watermelon alone, running it through a fine strainer to remove seeds, and then adding it to everything else.
