Ingredients
- 1 lb sweet honeydew flesh cut into chunks
- 1/2 cup sugar plus
- 2 to 3 tbsp sugar
- 2 cups half-and-half
- About 1 tbsp freshly squeezed ginger lemon or lime juice
Instructions
- Purée the melon and 1/2 cup sugar in a food processor, scraping down the bowl, as needed, until smooth.
- Scrape the mixture into a non-aluminum bowl and stir in the half-and-half. Taste and adjust if and as needed with the additional sugar; the mixture should taste a touch too sweet at room temperature if it is to taste perfect when frozen. Add the ginger, lemon, or lime juice by 1/2 teaspoons until the flavor rounds on your tongue. Don't be shy; splash in a bit more and watch the flavor grow.
- Freeze in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions.
- Store with a piece of plastic wrap pressed directly on the surface.
- Let soften slightly before serving.
