Honey Dew & Watermelon Sorbet with Cardamom

Just a few more weeks of summer left! As much as I love Fall, I miss bright sunshines, different colored birds hopping in the yard, and fresh fruits, vegetables, herbs, flowers, and the greens all around. With a thunder-storm every other day, all the colors just look so much brighter to my eyes.

Before summer slips out, I wanted to post this simple sorbet recipe. Sorbets and granitas have been popular choices in the freezer this summer. And this particular sorbet was something I threw together on impulse, more than a month ago. Its simple and refreshing flavors are ideal after a heavy or spicy meal. Since we are fans of honey dew and cantaloupe, and of course, watermelon, we loved this sorbet. Honeydew and watermelon are sweet by themselves, but since I have insatiable people with sweet tooth (teeth, rather), I added some simple syrup made with palm sugar. The guilt level zooms down when I pull out palm sugar, and everything is well with the Universe!
