  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup lemon juice
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Preparation

Step 1

Blend cantaloupe and sugar in a food processor until smooth. Add lemon juice and salt. Chill in refrigerator until cold through. Strain with a fine mesh strainer and place mixture into a shallow metal pan and freeze, stirring with a fork every 1/2 hour, until mixture is coarse ice crystals, but not frozen hard, approximately 4 hours.
