Ready In
- Combine sugar and water in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature, about 45 minutes. Cover and refrigerate until chilled, about 1 hour.
- Place watermelon and lime juice in a food processor; process until smooth. Set a sieve over a large bowl and press the puree through to remove tiny seeds. Whisk in the sugar syrup.
- Pour the watermelon mixture into a shallow metal pan and freeze until ice crystals form around the edges, about 30 minutes. Stir the ice crystals into the center of the pan and return to the freezer; repeat every 20 minutes until all the liquid is frozen.
- Serve immediately or transfer to a storage container and let harden in the freezer for 1 to 1½ hours. Serve in chilled dishes.
- Make Ahead Tip: The slush will keep, in an airtight container, in the freezer for up to 2 days.

Refreshing frozen treat without the calories of ice cream
This exceeded my expectations. Not to sweet and very refreshing. My husband is lactose- intolerant so it's great that we can both enjoy it. I'm going to use it to make a watermelon daiquiri tonight. I'll definitely be making this sorbet again.
Pros: Lactose-free, low calorie
Cons: Time consuming. You'll have to keep stirring it once it goes into the freezer
