Ingredients
- 4 large ruby red grapefruits
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Juice the grapefruits to yield about 2 cups of juice. Strain to remove pulp if desired.
- In a small saucepan, combine sugar and water. Heat over medium, stirring, until sugar dissolves. Let cool.
- Mix grapefruit juice, sugar syrup, lemon juice, and salt in a bowl. Pour into a shallow dish (9x13 inch).
- Freeze for 1 hour, then scrape with a fork to break up ice crystals. Repeat every 30 minutes for 3-4 hours until fluffy.
- Scoop granita into chilled glasses and serve immediately.
Tips
- Use pink or white grapefruit for a milder flavor.
- Granita can be stored in the freezer for up to 1 week; scrape before serving.
- Garnish with fresh mint leaves for extra freshness.
