Watermelon, Peach and Strawberry Granita

 

 

1 kg seedless watermelon, skin removed, chopped

2 punnets (about 500 g [17 1/2 oz]) strawberries, hulled, sliced

425 g (15 oz) can peach slices in natural juice

2 tablespoons (8 tsp) caster (superfine granulated) sugar

 

 

1. Place watermelon, strawberries, peach slices and peach juice into a

food processor (in batches if necessary). Process until smooth. Add

sugar to taste.

 

2. Pour fruit mixture through a sieve into a shallow 8-cup capacity

plastic container. Cover. Freeze for 4 to 5 hours or until partially

set. Use a fork to flake granita to break up. Cover. Freeze for a

further 4 hours or until completely frozen.

 

3. Use a fork to flake granita again and break up ice crystals. Return

to freezer until ready to serve.

 

4. Spoon granita into chilled serving glasses. Serve immediately.

 

 

HINT: Chill your serving glasses in the freezer before serving as this

will help to stop granita from melting quickly on a hot day.

 

VARIATION: If you prefer, you could replace the strawberries with

raspberries (fresh or frozen) and the peaches with canned mango slices.

 

 

Serves 6.
