This blueberry granita is a cool and refreshing treat. The more frequently you stir granita, the slushier it will be. The less you stir, the icier it will be.

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings

  • 2 ½ cups blueberries

  • ½ cup white sugar

  • ¾ cup water

  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Directions

  1. Blend blueberries and sugar in a food processor until smooth. Strain through a fine-mesh strainer, pressing with a wooden spoon to separate blueberry purée from any chunks of skin or seeds.

  2. Stir blueberry purée with water and lemon juice in a shallow glass baking dish or tray. Place into the freezer, scraping and stirring the mixture with a fork every hour, until evenly frozen and icy, about 4 hours. Scrape to fluff and lighten the ice crystals, then spoon into chilled glasses to serve.

Tips

Use Splenda instead of white sugar if you prefer.
