Ingredients
- 4 cups red or black seedless grapes (about 1.5 lbs)
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
- Wash the grapes and remove any stems. Place grapes in a blender or food processor and blend until smooth.
- Press the grape puree through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl to remove skins and seeds. Discard solids.
- In a small saucepan, combine water and sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring, until sugar dissolves. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- Stir the sugar syrup and lemon juice into the grape juice. Taste and adjust sweetness if needed.
- Pour the mixture into a shallow metal or glass dish (about 9x13 inches). Place in the freezer.
- After 1 hour, use a fork to scrape and stir the mixture, breaking up any ice crystals. Repeat every 30 minutes for about 3-4 hours, until the granita is fluffy and icy.
- Once fully frozen and flaky, scrape again with a fork before serving.
Tips
- For a sweeter granita, add more sugar to taste.
- Serve in chilled glasses or bowls for best texture.
- Store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 1 week; scrape before serving.
