schedule 10 MINUTES group 4 PEOPLEIngredients
1 lb fresh watermelon, seedless is best
2 Tbs granulated sugar
2 Tbs fresh lemon or lime juice.
Instructions
Cut watermelon into large chunks, discarding the rind (or save and pickle it for a tangy southern treat.)
Combine watermelon with sugar and lemon or lime juice in a blender and purée until smooth.
Strain and pour into a baking pan. Cover and freeze for 2-4 hours, removing from the freezer each hour to scrape the mixture with a fork or spoon to create a texture similar to a snow cone.
To serve, give the granita a quick scrape, spoon into bowls and season as desired.
