Quality!- would
make it again. "Fabulous! The sweeter the
watermelon, the sweeter your sorbet will be."

***Hey,
This One's a Keeper!- would
make it again. "The
wine or grape juice along with the lemon would really help bring out the
flavor of the watermelon. I wonder if a little bit of mint would
be good in this recipe?"
