Watermelon Sorbet
After scooping out the watermelon for this pretty pink sorbet, I freeze the rind shell to use as a serving bowl for the scoops. We also put out bowls of chocolate chips and jimmies so our guests can sprinkle on their own "seeds".—Heide Grable, Raleigh, North Carolina10 ServingsPrep: 25 min. + chilling Process 20 min./batch + freezing
