Granita is Italian for small grains, a reference to the ice crystals that form crunchy, irresistible little jewels in this fresh summer cooler.

Ingredients

Watermelon

6 cup(s), chunks, seedless

Sugar

⅔ cup(s)

Fresh lime juice

¼ cup(s)

Table salt

¼ tsp

Instructions

  1. Working in batches if necessary, place all ingredients in a food processor fitted with the chopping blade; process until smooth. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a large bowl.
  2. Pour into ice-cube trays; freeze until hard, at least 8 hours or overnight. (The recipe can be made up to this point and kept in the freezer for up to 1 month.)
  3. Release cubes into a food processor fitted with the chopping blade; pulse until somewhat slushy but still quite grainy. Yields about 1/2 cup per serving.
