Melons are one of those rare ingredients that are practically perfect as is.
No, with melons like cantaloupe and honeydew you want to preserve and highlight their sweet, musky flavors.
Watermelons may work too, but I haven’t tested it with these recipes.

Carefully cut off the rind and discard that as well.
Set each pureed melon aside in a separate bowl.
Heat until the sugar has melted and the mixture has come to boil.
Add the mint (if using) and let sit for 10 minutes.
Strain out the lemon zest (and mint if using).
Chill, covered with plastic wrap.
Chill for several hours or overnight.
The sorbet will have a soft texture right out of the ice cream maker.
