Oh Lori is it as delish as it looks?
I was just reading ..(I knew) about how much lower in fat sorbets are.. but the difference was huge..
I have to crank out my machine..this is just too pretty.

That looks so good! I have been trying to find new recipes for watermelon. Now I just need to find me a ice cream maker. Thanks for stopping by my blog this week :)
Is it possible to use Splenda to make the syrup?
Suedo, I've seen Splenda Simple Syrup recipes on the web. The proportions were the same (dissolve 1 cup Splenda in 1 cup boiling water - let cool). If you try it, I'd love to hear how it worked for you!
Recipe for sorbet calls for 1 cup of simple syrup. The reference to the simple syrup recipe yields 2 cups. Should the sorbet still only use 1 cup of simply syrup or 2 cup of simple syrup?
thanks
Now this sounds delicious and its even simple enough that i can make! Thanks :)
