Watermelon Granita



Things are beginning to cool off a bit here so I wanted to make sure that this great summer refresher got out there in time for you to try it. It's quick and easy to make - well the preparation part is. You need to scrape it often but it's worth it. Great watermelon flavor!




Cube up bite sized chunks of seedless watermelon and put into a food processor or a blender.


Puree until all the chunks are gone. Add the lime juice and sugar and pour into a 9x13 inch pan.


Freeze for 2-3 hours and then take a fork and begin scraping the top surface.  Continue scraping every couple of hours until the entire pan is scraped.  Transfer to a airtight container and store in the freezer.


Delicious, cold, refreshing.

Recipe found here.

8 cups of cubed seedless watermelon.
2 limes - juiced
1/3 cup of sugar

Puree the watermelon until there are no chunks left.  Add the lemon and the sugar and mix thoroughly.  Pour into a 9x13 dish and cover and freeze.
Let freeze for about two to three hours and then begin scraping the top surface.  Return to the freezer and remove every couple of hours for more scraping.  Once fully scraped, put into an airtight container and keep frozen.
