Instructions
- Dice the watermelon into small cubes and place in a shallow container or baking sheet.

- Add the lime juice to the saucepan and combine.

- Enjoy immediately or freeze if you prefer a firmer texture.

Notes
Store the sorbet in a freezer container for up to 2 weeks. Longer storage will create ice crystals on top and the texture will change.
You can substitute lemon juice for lime juice. Fresh juice is recommended for the best flavor.
If your watermelon is in season and very sweet, the simple syrup may not be needed. You can also adjust the amount of simple syrup to reduce the sweetness if desired. I do not recommend adding sugar to the sorbet without using a simple syrup or the texture will be grainy.
