Makes 4 to 6 servings

Ingredients

6 cups small chunks seedless watermelon (about one whole mini-seedless melon)
1/4 cup lemon juice
2 envelopes Knox unflavored Gelatin
1 cup sugar
1 cup boiling water

Instructions

Place watermelon in batches, in a 5-cup blender. Cover and process until smooth and liquid. Pour into a large bowl. Stir in lemon juice. Set aside. In a medium bowl, mix unflavored gelatin with sugar. Add boiling water and stir until gelatin is completely dissolved. Cool slightly; stir into watermelon mixture. Pour mixture into freezer-safe containers.(I use disposable lidded ones.) Freeze until firm around the edges; about 1 1/2 hours. Scrape the partially frozen mass into a large bowl. Beat again until smooth. Return to lidded containers and freeze until firm, 3 to 4 hours.

For all the bad feelings gelatin salads generate, this refreshing Knox Gelatin frozen dessert from the '70s wins points in a more-positive direction. Note: There's really no reason to doll up a sweet watermelon, but if you get one that's a little flat, this will perfect the flavor
