Blueberry Granita
This Blueberry Granita is a beautifully vibrant treat that’s sure to brighten your day. The natural sweetness of blueberries shines through in every spoonful, and the icy texture is oh-so-satisfying!
Ingredients
To make this delicious Blueberry Granita, you will need:
- 2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
- 1 cup water
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar (adjust to taste)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, combine the blueberries, water, and sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar has dissolved and the blueberries have released their juices. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
- Once the mixture is bubbling, remove it from heat and let it cool for a few minutes. Then, add the lemon juice to enhance the flavor.
- Pour the blueberry mixture into a blender and blend until smooth. If you prefer a chunkier texture, you can just pulse the blender a couple of times for a more rustic feel.
- Strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve to remove any skins or solids. You’ll be left with a luscious blueberry liquid.
- Pour the strained blueberry liquid into a shallow dish (a metal baking pan works great) and place it in the freezer.
- Every 30 minutes, use a fork to scrape the mixture. Continue this process for about 3-4 hours or until the granita is fully frozen and has a fluffy texture.
- Once the granita is ready, serve it in bowls or glasses and enjoy it immediately!
Enjoy your refreshing Blueberry Granita as a light dessert or a sweet snack. It’s bound to become a favorite in your household. Happy indulging!
