    Honeydew Cucumber and Elderflower sorbet recipe | deliciouseveryday.com

    This Honeydew, Cucumber and Elderflower sorbet is just the thing to help you cool down as the days grow ever warmer as we edge our way to summer. And it couldn't be simpler to make. The only real effort required is peeling and chopping the honeydew and cucumber before whizzing it submission in a blender along with some sugar, lemon juice (or lime if you have that handy) and elderflower cordial.

    This honeydew sorbet melts the moment it hits your tongue in the most beautiful and refreshing way, with a whisper of elderflower to add a little interest. If you don't have elderflower cordial you can leave it out altogether, or you could replace it with some mint leaves.

    The juice on its own, minus the sugar, is also wonderfully refreshing, and a fantastic way to quench your thirst on a sticky humid day, as yesterday was, just before the storm broke. As the rain started I silently wished it would continue until night time so I could go to sleep listening to the rain pitter patter on the roof, but sadly, it wasn't to be.

      I've never made nor eaten honeydew sorbet but I'm dying to try it. I really like honeydew. It all looks so pretty, Jennifer.

      This is such a stunning combination of flavours. It's starting to get properly cold in the UK but I actually love sorbets in winter - perfect after big meals like a Sunday roast 🙂

      I had a honeydew in the fridge that I hadn't gotten around to using yet so made this last night. So yummy! My boyfriend and I ate it all straight from the bowl of the ice cream maker. Thank you

      What gorgeous pics, Jen - just lovely. As is the recipe. I have some elderflower liqueur tucked away - that might make the sorbet even more interesting.
