Granita is a simpler form of sorbet from Italy. Lovely for dessert or just as a snackĀ on a hot summer’s day.
Ingredients:
- 1 kg of watery fruits (eg. melon, currants, citus fruits etc)
- 200-300 g caster sugar
- 200 ml water
Directions:
- clean and peel the fruit, put into a blender and mix into a smooth paste
- pour the sugar and water into a pan on medium heat and stir until the sugar crystals have dissolved
- mix the cooled sugar syrup with the fruit paste and put into the freezer
- take out every 15 minutes and give it a good stir - repeat for about 2 hours until it’s got a crystalline texture
- Garnish with some fresh fruit or berries
