How to Make Raspberry Granita

  1. In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup of sugar and 1/2 cup of water. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves completely.
  2. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes, creating a simple syrup. Remove from heat and let cool completely.
  3. While the syrup cools, blend 2 cups of fresh raspberries until smooth. Strain the puree through a fine-mesh sieve to remove seeds (optional).
  4. In a medium bowl, whisk together the raspberry puree, 2 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice, and the cooled simple syrup.
  5. Pour the mixture into a shallow metal baking dish or a freezer-safe container.
  6. Freeze for at least 2 hours, scraping the surface with a fork every 30 minutes to create ice crystals. Continue this process until the granita is completely frozen and has a light and fluffy texture.
  7. Before serving, let the granita sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly.
