Hmmmm......
Rated: 2 stars out of 5

I was so excited to make this recipe. I read the reviews before i started and took the advice of only using half the amount... of sugar. However, it didnt quite work out. It was still really sweet and after 4 hours of being in the freezer, it hadn't set. I'm hoping it will overnight, but I can already see the flavor wasnt really what I wanted. i dont know if i would try to make it again. It was a waste of a really good watermelon!Read more

This recipe was okay. I could do without the mint and a little less sugar. My husband liked it and ate the whole bowl.

This was light and refreshing but a little too sweet. Next time I will cut the sugar by half.
