Recipe and source notes

Strawberry Granita

4–6 servings Source yield

Ingredients

  • 4 cups ripe strawberries, washed and sliced
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice

Make it step by step

  1. In a bowl, combine strawberries and sugar. Let this sit for 30 minutes or longer to enhance the flavors. Add water and purée strawberries. Adjust according to taste; you may need to add more sugar or more lime juice if too sweet. Strain to remove seeds and pour strained mixture into a glass lasagna pan. Freeze until mixture is frozen (about 1 1/2 hours), stirring edges into center every 20 to 30 minutes. Use a fork to scrape granita into flaky crystals.
  2. The Culinary Chase’s Note: For an adult version, add 1 to 2 tablespoons of vodka. Enjoy!
