Watermelon Granita
The difference between a sorbet and a granita is texture. Sorbets are smooth, whereas granitas are coarse. Makes 4 Servings.


Ingredients:

4 cups watermelon pulp
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 cup Sugar Syrup
Mint sprigs for garnish


Instructions:
1. Puree watermelon in a food processor

2. Put melon, syrup, and lemon juice in a baking pan such as a 9 x 13-inch pan. Stir well and freeze about 4 hours until frozen solid.

3. To serve, scrape up granita with a spoon or fork into goblets or clear, cut-glass dishes. Garnish with mint sprigs.

Cooking Tip
Because granitas are coarse they are less in need of an ice maker than sorbets are. A baking pan works just fine.
