Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Refreshing Blueberry Granita.
Step 1
Start by tossing fresh blueberries and sugar into your food processor, blending them together until you achieve a smooth, velvety purée.
Step 2
Next, take a fine-mesh strainer and pour the blueberry mixture through it, using a wooden spoon to gently press down and separate the luscious purée from any pesky skins or seeds.
Step 3
In a shallow glass baking dish, mix the strained blueberry purée with a splash of water and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice, creating a vibrant and refreshing blend.
Step 4
Now, it’s time for the fun part—place your dish in the freezer and set a timer for an hour.
Step 5
Every hour, take a moment to scrape and stir the mixture with a fork, breaking up any icy clumps until it transforms into a fluffy, icy delight.
Step 6
This process will take about four hours, but trust me, the anticipation will make it all the more rewarding.
Step 7
Once your granita is perfectly frozen, give it one last fluff with a fork and serve it in chilled glasses.
Step 8
Enjoy this delightful treat on a warm day, and watch as your friends and family savor every icy spoonful!.
