 1. Remove the rind from the watermelon and proceed to seed it and chop it


 the watermelon into small chunks. (approximately 5 cups)


 


 2. Place the watermelon chunks along with 1/2 cup of freshly squeezed lemon


 juice, derived from the 3 fresh lemons, and 1/4 of sugar into a food


 processor. Puree the mixture until smooth.


 


 3. Remove the top of the food processor and add 3 tablespoons of Campari


 and


     1/8    teaspoon of salt.


 


 4. Pour the watermelon mixture into a chilled rectangular metal baking pan.


 Place the pan in the freezer for 30 minutes or until ice crystals form


 around the sides and bottom of pan.


 


 5. With a fork, gently rake the mixture until the frozen and unfrozen


 elements are evenly combined. Break up any large clumps that form, but be


 careful of making a slush.


 


 6. Return the pan to the freezer and repeat the raking process every 20


 minutes until the ice has formed a uniform consistency of soft crushed ice.


 The entire process will take about two hours. (Some freezers may vary).
