Melon Sorbet

Serves 4 to 6.

1 pound of juicy, extra-ripe, orange-fleshed melon
1/4 cup mild flavored honey, depending on the sweetness of the melon
1/2 cup whole milk
generous pinch of salt

1. Cut the melon flesh from its rind into a medium bowl and puree with a hand blender. You will need 2 cups of puree.

2. Add the milk, and salt. Now you want to sweeten to taste. If your honey is in a solid or crystallized state you need to dunk the jar in a bowl of warm water until it is liquid again. This way it will mix easily with the rest of the ingredients. Start by blending in 2 tbs. of the honey and taste. If you think the mixture needs to be sweeter, add more honey. Keep in mind you want the honey to bring out and complement the flavor of the melon, not overpower it.

Pour into an ice-cream maker, and freeze according to the manufacturer's instructions.
