Ingredients: 1/2 small watermelon, peeled, seeded and cut into 1 chunks (about 6 cups)
3 tablespoons confectioner's sugar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions: In covered blender at low speed blend 1 cup of the watermelon chunks with confectioner's sugar, juice and salt until smooth; add remaining watermelon and blend until smooth. Pour into a 9" x 9" baking pan; cover with foil or plastic wrap and freeze until partially frozen, about 2 hours. Spoon watermelon mixture into a large, chilled bowl. With mixer at high speed, beat until fluffy. Return mixture to baking pan and freeze until firm, about 1 1/2 hours.
To serve: Remove from freezer and let stand for 10 minutes at room temperature for easier scooping.
