• 2 tbsp raw honey

Method

• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
• Place the cubed kharbooja onto the baking sheet, but do leave space in between the cubes to allow for even freezing.   
• Place the tray into the freezer and freeze the muskmelon overnight.
• Place the frozen muskmelon into the bowl of a food processor and pulse until the cantaloupe becomes crumbly.
• Add the lemon juice, honey, and water and pulse. You may need to add more water until the mixture becomes more fluid, but not slushy.
• You're looking for a soft sorbet texture at this point. Muskmelon is super good for you if you have diabetes, which is why we have not suggested sugar here.
