In a small heavy saucepan, bring the water and sugar to a boil. Cook and stir until sugar is dissolved. Remove from the heat; let completely cool.
Place the watermelon and strawberries in a blender; add sugar syrup. Cover and process for 2-3 minutes or until smooth. Strain and discard seeds and pulp. Transfer puree to a 13-in. x 9-in. dish. Freeze for 1 hour or until edges begin to firm.

This would be perfect for me when I was back in Malaysia but will send me under my thick duvet here! Hope the weather here turns hot faster. Looks very refreshing.
Good timing for this awful summer heat!
Gorgeous! Thanks for the great idea of using a blender to smooth out homemade sorbet.
I love sorbets in the Summer and I am sure this combination is wonderful!
Drick, this looks so refreshing for a hot day. The mint is a perfect addition.

Hi Drick,
Love your photo and easy recipe. You have inspired me to try making sorbet one more time -- I haven't been too successful as yet.
Thanks,
