Granita is an ice dessert similar to sorbet, but much easier to make. It has a more granular texture because you scrape it up yourself, almost like an old-fashioned sno-cone. This recipe makes about 2 c.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • 1/3 c. water
  • 1/2 c. sugar
  • 1 tbsp. fresh lemon juice
  • 1 1/2 c. fresh raspberries
  • Groceries
  • Blenders
  • Saucepans
  • Strainers

  1. Step 1

    Heat the water and sugar until the sugar is dissolved. Avoid letting it come to a boil.

  2. Step 2

    Remove from heat and add the lemon juice.

  3. Step 3

    Puree the raspberries and strain them into the sugar mixture. If they're very soft, you can simply place them in the strainer and force them through.

  4. Step 4

    Stir the mixture together and place in a shallow container.

  5. Step 5

    Place the container in the freezer and freeze for several hours.

  6. Step 6

    Stir with a fork as the mixture freezes, every 20 minutes or so, breaking up any frozen surfaces and crushing any lumps. This creates granita's texture.

  7. Step 7

    Serve when the granita is almost completely frozen and can be scraped up into a ball.
