Ingredients
1 tsp unflavored gelatin
4 cup watermelon cubes
2 tbsp lime juice (or lemon)
2 tbsp honey
1 lime twists for garnish
Directions
In a micro-safe cup, soften gelatin in 2 tb water by heating briefly.
Stir until gelatin is dissolved.
(Suggestion: cut up melon in a sieve to catch the seeds, over a bowl
to catch the juice or you will have lots of juice around the cutting
board.) In a blender container, combine 1 cup of melon cubes, lime
(or lemon) juice, honey and gelatin mixture. Cover and blend at high
speed for 30 sec or until smooth.
Add remaining melon in batches, cover and blend at high speed until
smooth. Pour into a 8x8x2" pan and freeze until almost firm.
Remove from freezer and transfer mixture to a large chilled bowl.
Beat at high speed with an electric mixer or food processor until
smooth. Return to pan or pour into serving size cups or pour into
plastic ice cube trays and freeze several hours until firm.
To serve let stand 15-20 min at room temperature. Scrape surface (if
you used 8x8 pan) and spoon into serving dishes. Garnish.

Foods containing allyl sulfides
( includes garlic, onions and welsh onion) The onion range of vegetables is rich in allyl sulfides, a chemical which experts believe might be linked to a reduced risk of stomach and colon cancer. Even though there is insufficient scientific proof available, allyl sulfides are also thought by nutritionalists to help with blood circulation, arteriosclerosis and physical exhaustion. Foods containing allyl sulfides are also low in calories, so should be a part of every weight loss program. |
