Serves about 6
Ingredients:
2/3 cup caster sugar
2/3 cup water
1 4-4 1/2 lb seedless Watermelon
Juice of two limes
Lime wedges to serve
Boil water and sugar. Pour into a heatproof bowl, cool and chill.
Cut watermelon into chunks. Puree in blender or food processor
until smooth. Strain the puree into a large shallow pan or container
that will fit in your freezer. Add sugar syrup and lime juice. Cover
and freeze for two hours or until the mixture becomes mushy around
the sides. Mash ice with a fork and return it to the freezer. Freeze
for about two more hours mashing every 30 minutes until granita has
a fine slushy consistency.
Scoop into dishes (you can sugar the edges if you’re into that)
and serve with lime wedges:) YUM!
**You can also mix it with a little rum or tequila when serving.
Enjoy while you celebrate these last bits of sweet summer time!
