Rockmelon Sorbet

We bought two rockmelons last Wednesday and because we also have watermelon, we've just used up half of the latter. One is already overripe. I'm thinking what we can do so it won't get rotten - as always what happened if there are lots of fruit at home. Well, something that will preserve it. Sorbet is perfect.

Here's a recipe from bestrecipes.com.au.

Ingredients500 g rockmelon
¾ cup water
110 g caster sugar
½ egg white

Method1. Place a shallow metal tin in the freezer to chill.
2. Remove seeds, peel and chop rockmelon and place into saucepan. Add water and sugar.
3. Over low heat, stir until sugar is dissolved. Turn heat up to medium.
4. Bring to boil and cook for 5 minutes or until rockmelon is tender and syrup is a little thicker.
5. Remove from heat and cool slightly.
6. Put rockmelon mix into a food processor and blitz until smooth.
7. Strain mix through a fine sieve into the chilled tin.
8. Cover with foil and freeze for 2 hours or until almost set.
9. Break up frozen mix and put into processor. Blitz until smooth.
10. Place back into tin and refreeze. Repeat process again, this time adding egg white when processing.
11. Return to freezer and chill until set.

It requires more effort though (not as much as getting home insurance quote) but I bet it is delicious. As for me, I'll have to see if I have time to do it.
