Fruit Granita Recipe
An Original Recipe by Lorraine Elliott
Preparation time: 5 minutes
Cooking time: 0 minutes
- 1.5 cups/150g/5ozs. icing sugar
- 3 cups/340g/12ozs. frozen fruit, cut into small pieces
- 250g/8.8ozs ice cubes (small ones, not those huge ones for cocktails)
- 1 teaspoon any herbs of flavourings of your choice
Granita flavour suggestions: Peach & Rosemary Granita, Rockmelon & Balsamic or Lime Granita, Watermelon, Pineapple & Mint Granita, Strawberry & Vanilla Granita.
Note: if you have more fruit just use it all and make it a stronger flavoured granita. Just reduce the amount of ice you use so that the total weight of ice and fruit is the same.
Step 1 - Place all ingredients in a blender or food processor and process until fine chips, scraping down the sides if you need to. Place in a freezer proof container. This will last 6 months in the freezer.
Thermomix directions: Place all ingredients in the Thermomix bowl and set for 20 seconds at speed #10. Scrape down halfway through if needed.
