Anyone have a good gelato recipe?
Before I went on vacation, I pureed and froze a ripe honeydew....now I'm looking for a gelato recipe that I can adapt for the honeydew. The puree is pretty watery. Any suggestions?

I don't have a precise recipe, but I've made a musk melon sorbet a couple of times before.
One thing I learned when making a melon sorbet that turned quite icy was that I needed a bit more sugar than I expected, because the melon is mostly water. Balance that sugar with a little lemon juice. You can also use a splash of alcohol (neutral like vodka or complementary in flavor, like perhaps a white rum) added to the ice cream maker in the last minute or two.

yeah sorry, it's chocolate and not melon. but i figured, What the hey, might as well add it to the gelato thread in case someone else wants to try it. and if you do try it, tell me how it turns out!

Have you seen David Lebovitz's The Perfect Scoop? It's a great book on ice creams and sorbets that we blogged about extensively. I looked in there and he only writes about melon sorbets and granitas.

Hey Ed- yes, I am familiar with his book - I just made Orange Chilli Ricotta Frozen Yogurt based off his fro-yo recipe.
No gelato recipe in there though....

I love gelato, I havent found a shop in my small town in S.C that makes it so I have to make it myself when I get a craving. I appreciate all of the recipes I can get my hands on.
