In a small saucepan, combine the 1/3 cup sugar and 1/2 cup water, bring to a boil, over medium heat, stirring, until the sugar dissolves. Let cool. Transfer the syrup to a blender or food processor, add watermelon and the lime juice and pulse until smooth.
Pass the puree through a coarse strainer, pressing down on the solids. Transfer to a 9 - by -13 - inch glass baking dish and freeze.
