WATERMELON ICE BLOCKS

Directions

Mix the sugar, water and lemon juice together in a small saucepan. Heat over a medium heat stirring occasionally until the sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat and chill.

Cut up the watermelon and remove all seeds and cut away rind. Puree in a high-speed blender or food processor. Pass the watermelon through a sieve if seeds remain or flesh too coarse.

Stir in chilled sugar syrup. Pour into a freezable container, and place in the freezer for 2 hours. After 2 hours it can be flaked with a fork and spooned into ice block moulds. Pack and push into the moulds to remove any holes. Freeze for minimum of 8 hours before serving.

Alternatively, freeze in an ice-cream maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Once frozen scoop into an airtight container and store in the freezer.
