Blueberry Granita

By: Barb 
"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. Use Splenda® if you prefer."

Original Recipe Yield 4 servings
 

Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 cups blueberries
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 3/4 cup water
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Directions

  1. Blend the blueberries and sugar in a food processor until smooth; strain through a fine-mesh strainer, pressing with a wooden spoon to separate the blueberry puree from any chunks of skin or seeds.
  2. Stir the strained blueberry puree, water, and lemon juice together in a shallow glass baking dish or tray. Place the dish in the freezer; scrape and stir the blueberry mixture with a fork once an hour until evenly frozen and icy, about 4 hours. Scrape to fluff and lighten the ice crystals; spoon into chilled glasses to serve.
