Honeydew Sorbet

Sharing Honeydew Sorbet With Shhh Cooking Secretly Group

Memories

I shared this recipe way back on 04/04/2016 for the No Cook No Bake, 34th theme organized by the FoodieMonday/ Bloghop Group. It was so hot in Mombasa during that time. It was a perfect time to prepare a saved recipe. Bought honeydew melon, former the cubes and next day we enjoyed a cool and delicious sorbet. A welcome treat especially after a day of fasting. Yes, you can enjoy this dessert during your Navratri, Ekadashi, Ram Navmi or Shivratri fasting.

Decided to republish this recipe with better photos, write up and a video too.

Ingredients Required For Honeydew Sorbet

Honeydew Melon

Try and buy a ripe one as those tend to be sweet. Cut the melon into half, scoop out the seeds. Peel the skin off and cut the melon into cubes that are not too big otherwise too small. Arrange them in a single layer on a try or an airtight container. Put the container or tray in the freezer. Allow the melon to freeze for 6-8 hours or overnight. Us straight out of the freezer into the blender when you make the sorbet. I try and buy the biggest melon possible so that I can save some to make  Honeydew Caprese Salad.

Orange Juice

Best to use fresh orange juice. Need a bit of liquid to crush the frozen fruit.

Lemon Juice

Adds a bit of tanginess.

Maple Syrup | Honey

Use any natural sweetener of your choice. I like to use maple syrup or honey. Other options are agave syrup, date syrup, coconut sugar, etc

Salt

Adding a bit of salt brings out the flavours of the other ingredients used.

Fresh Mint

Add 10-12 mint leaves. Pluck  the leaves from the stalk. May use fresh basil instead.
