Recipe for Watermelon Granita
Ingredients
- Watermelon cubes – 5 cups, seeds removed
- Sugar – 1 cup
- Water – ½ cup
- Lemon juice – as needed
Cooking Directions
Make the simple syrup by adding 1 cup of sugar to ½ cup of boiling water. Stir until sugar has dissolved and the solution becomes clear. Cool and reserve.
Blend watermelon cubes, simple syrup and lemon juice until smooth. Strain and taste the juice. It should be very sweet and with noticeable lemony taste. It looses some of its taste when frozen.
Pour the juice into a 9x13 baking dish or any shallow container and freeze for 3 hours. Scrape the mixture with a fork until its fluffy. Freeze again. Scrape and fluff the granita before serving.
