Watermelon Sorbet

I'm saying goodbye to Summer with this light and refreshing dessert. Sorbets are so simple to make, but they deliver on bold fruit flavor, which is exactly what I'm craving as I savor these last warm days of the year.

Ingredients
4 cups cubed (1 inch) watermelon, seeds and rind discarded
1 cup sugar
1 cup water

2. Puree the watermelon cubes in a food processor with lemon juice and simple syrup.
