Methods/steps

1. Create a simple syrup. In a small heavy saucepan heat sugar and water over high heat, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Let it cool.

2. Puree the watermelon just enough to smooth it, but not cutting up all the seeds. To take out the seeds, strain the puree through a colander.

3. Stir in 1 ½ cups of the watermelon puree with the simple syrup.

4. Add to the ice-cream maker and freeze.
