• 1/4 cup raw honey
• 1 Tbsp lime juice
• Fresh lime or lemon slices to serve

Method

1. Remove the peel and seeds of the watermelon.
2. Roughly chop the watermelon into chunks. It should equal about five cups.
3. Place in a food processer or blender and pulse until until it reaches a thin, even consistency.
4. Add the honey and lime juice. Continue to pulse until combined.
5. Feel free to taste and add more honey or lime juice as desired.
6. Transfer to a freezer-proof baking dish or ice-cream tub and freeze for about two to three hours.
