Description:

Enjoy as a snack, or, dress it up for an elegant dessert with sliced watermelon, fresh strawberries and mint leaves.

Ingredients:

• 3 punnets strawberries, leaves removed
• 3/4 cup caster sugar
• 500g watermelon, skin removed, chopped
• 500g watermelon, sliced, to serve
• 1 punnet fresh strawberries, sliced, to serve
• Mint leaves to serve

Method:

1. Cut strawberries in half and, using a food processor, process with caster sugar. Set aside 10 minutes (see tip).
2. Blend strawberry mixture with watermelon until smooth.
3. Pour mixture into a freezer container or lunchbox and freeze 6 hours.
4. Turn out of container and, using a large sharp knife, cut into slices or spears and serve at once.

Tip: ·Combining fruit with sugar – and allowing it to stand 10 minutes – allows juices to be given off, thus making blending easier.

* Kids will need adult supervision using a blender.
