Granita: Watermelon Granita




Source of Recipe


Rocky Mountain News


List of Ingredients




½ cup water

5 to 7 tablespoons sugar

½ large watermelon (5 pounds of flesh)

Juice and zest of 2 limes



Recipe



• Put the water and sugar in a saucepan and bring to a low boil. When the sugar has dissolved, remove the pan from the heat.

• Cut the rind off the watermelon, then cut the flesh into 2-inch chunks.

• Puree the melon chunks in batches in a food processor. Press the puree through a sieve: discard the seeds and fibers. Stir the syrup and the lime juice and zest into the melon liquid.

• To freeze, follow the "classic method" in the "How to Make Granita" instructions.

• Note: You can drizzle Cointreau or tequila over this granita.
