Melon Ice

6 cups cubed watermelon (4 ½ pounds with rind)
1 lemon
½ c sugar

Carefully cut watermelon away from rind, cut into 1-inch, cubes. Finely chop melon, place melon and any juices in a bowl. Juice lemon to measure 3 tablespoons. Add lemon juice and sugar to watermelon; mix well. Freeze fruit until firm, shave ice into serving dishes.

Cook's Tips: If using cantaloupe, substitute cantaloupe melon (approximately 3 pounds with rind) for the watermelon and orange juice for the lemon juice. If using honeydew, substitute honeydew melon (approximately 3 ½ pounds with rind) for the watermelon and lime juice for the lemon juice.
