The first is some of the easiest options around. FRUIT! Summertime is a great time for melon (watermelon is my favorite for the summer), stone fruits like peaches and cherries, pears, kiwi, and berries (strawberries, blueberries, and blackberries). Now the fruit on its own will always be a great dessert just pile some up in a bowl and or put them all together a fruit salad and have at it.
Now like I said earlier watermelon is my favorite summer fruit and don't get me wrong I like all those other fruits but watermelon is by far my #1!!
I'm not a fan of the big wedges of watermelon that you see in commercials or in movies and much prefer some cubes. Here is the easiest way to cut up a watermelon I have found so far. Thanks to Carla Hall and The Chew crew!
So what I will do is cut up the whole watermelon and store in the fridge. My family loves watermelon so much that it usually only takes us a few days to go through it, however there always seems to be a handful of cubes at the bottom of the bowl with all that wonderful watermelon juice. For some reason we never want to eat those ones so instead of letting them get thrown out I have come up with a great option so that doesn't happen.
Fruit Sorbet
Ingredients:
1/2 to 3/4 c watermelon cubes with 1/2 c juice
2 1/2 c of frozen fruit (combination of 2 or more different fruit)
I have used combinations of strawberries, cherries, mango, peaches and berries.
Water (Enough just to help bring together)
In a blender add watermelon and frozen fruit. Start blending on high adding water as needed until it comes together. Store in an airtight container in the freezer for 1 hour to bring together then serve. Keep in the freezer for up to a month.
Hope you enjoy this delicious dessert and keep those swimsuit season figures.
