RSJ’s Summer Watermelon Sorbet

This sorbet makes for the perfect summer snack that's delicious and refreshing.

Ingredients

2 cups Water
1 cup Sugar
3 cups Watermelon purée

Instructions

Dissolve sugar in water to make a simple syrup. Add watermelon purée. Freeze in an ice cream maker using the manufacturer’s instructions.

You might need to tweak the syrup-to-puree ratio. To check for the correct ratio, drop a clean whole egg into the mix. The portion of the egg that rises out of the mixture should be the size of a quarter. Adjust the water to mixture ratio to make the egg rise or drop in the mix.

Yield: 6 one-cup servings

Pie Dough

This crust has been the base for countless savory pies over the years. The key is keeping the butter ice-cold and giving the dough enough time to rest in the refrigerator. For a little twist, add 1 tablespoon of freshly cracked black pepper or 2 tablespoons of finely chopped chives to the flour mixture.

Denver Omelet Quiche

I love quiche. To me, it’s great for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. In the morning, it’s perfect with fresh fruit. At lunch or dinner, it pairs well with a light salad. Never use the pre-shredded cheese in plastic bags from the dairy case. It's dusted with cellulose, which messes with the texture and flavor. Always grate cheese from a block. It’s an extra step but it will save money and taste so much better.

Italian Cheesecake

If you are a fan of American-style cream cheese cheesecake, this might not be your dessert. Though if you like something lighter and less sweet, this is the dessert for you.
