Instructions
- Rinse the fresh red currants thoroughly under cold running water and remove any stems.
- In a blender, combine the rinsed red currants, granulated white sugar, fresh lemon juice, and cold water.
- Blend the mixture until smooth and well combined, about 30 seconds.
- For the blended mixture into a shallow metal or glass baking dish, spreading it evenly.
- Place the dish in the freezer and let it freeze for 30 minutes.
- After 30 minutes, use a fork to scrape and break up the ice crystals forming around the edges.
- Return the dish to the freezer and repeat the scraping process every 30 minutes for about 2 to 3 hours until the granita is fully frozen and fluffy.
- Scoop the granita into serving glasses and serve immediately for a refreshing treat.
Tips
- Use ripe red currants for the best flavor and natural sweetness.
- Adjust sugar quantity to taste depending on the tartness of the currants.
- Serve immediately after scraping for the best texture.
- You can add a few fresh mint leaves as garnish for extra freshness.
