Steps:
- In a small/medium saucepan combine the water, sugar, and two tablespoons lemon juice. Stir to (mostly) dissolve the sugar.
- Bring to a gentle boil over high heat and turn down to medium. Boil gently for three minutes. Set aside to cool. (I set aside in the fridge).
- Cube and de-seed the watermelon.
- Place the cubed watermelon and simple syrup you made in a blender. Blend on high till it turns to a smooth watermelon puree.
- Taste the watermelon puree. If it is too sweet, add up to one more Tablespoon of lemon juice to balance the sweetness. If it tastes fine to begin with, then leave it alone.
- If your ice cream maker requires that you cool or chill the puree, do so before proceeding.
- Transfer to your ice cream freezer. Freeze according to directions on your ice cream maker/freezer.
- When the desired sorbet consistency is reached eat right away or spoon the frozen mixture into an airtight freezer container.
- You can save in the freezer for up to two weeks. If the sorbet is too frozen to scoop, allow to rest on the counter for about five minutes to soften slightly.

WATERMELON SORBET (FOR ELECTRIC ICE CREAM MACHINE)
Posted in reply to a message board request. This is the recipe I use for watermelon sorbet. I make it in my ice cream machine, but I'm sure you could freeze it in a shallow pan if you don't have a ice cream machine. This recipe works well for making sorbet from most (non citrus) fruits. Cook time = freezing time in my ice cream machine.

WATERMELON SORBET OR GRANITA
This works only if your watermelon is juicy and sweet. If you make the granita version, you can use less sugar and omit the corn syrup because the ice crystals won't matter.

Steps:
- Place all of the ingredients in a blender, and blend until smooth. Chill in the refrigerator for 2 hours or overnight.
- If you are making granita, place a 9-by-11-inch baking dish in the freezer. Omit the corn syrup and reduce the sugar if desired.
- Place a container in the freezer. Using an immersion blender, blend the watermelon mixture for 30 seconds. If making sorbet, freeze in an ice cream maker following the manufacturer's directions. If making granita, scrape into the chilled baking dish and place back in the freezer. Set the timer for 30 minutes. Using a fork, scrape the ice crystals from the outside of the baking dish toward the center. Return to the freezer and set the timer for another 30 minutes. Continue to scrape the mixture with a fork every 30 minutes until you have a uniform frozen mixture. It should not be frozen solid. If you forget to scrape and the mixture does freeze like an ice cube, cut into chunks and use a food processor fitted with the steel blade to break it up. Transfer to a container and freeze. Allow to soften for 15 minutes in the refrigerator before serving.
