Directions

• In a medium saucepan combine water and sugar; bring to a boil, stirring occasionally.  Boil gently, uncovered for 2 minutes.  Remove from heat and cool slightly.
• Place watermelon and berries in a blender and blend for 30 seconds.  Add the warm syrup and blend until almost smooth.  Transfer the mixture to a 3-quart rectangular baking dish or a 13X9X2 in backing dish.  Place in the freezer, uncovered, for 1-1/2 hours or until almost solid.
• Remove sorbet from freezer.  Using a fork, break up the frozen fruit into a somewhat smooth mixture.  Stir in lemon balm.  Freeze 1 hour more.  Break up the ice with a fork and serve in shallow bowls.  Top with lemon balm springs and a few raspberries or blueberries.
