Ingredients

8oz fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced in two

3 tablespoons/60g good quality honey

2 tablespoons framboise (raspberry liqueur)

1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lime or lemon juice

½ cup filtered water

1 cup good quality rosé wine

 

Preparation:

– Combine the sliced strawberries with the honey, raspberry liqueur, lime/lemon juice. Cover and set aside for 20 to 30 minutes.

– Add the water and wine and purée in a high speed blender or food processor (or alternatively pass the mixture through a food mill fitted with a fine disk and then mix in the water and wine).

– Press the purée through a fine mesh strainer to remove the seeds if using a blender or processor if desired for a smoother consistency (if you have a high speed blender this step isn’t necessary).

– Pour mixture into a freezer safe 13 x 9 inch baking dish, cover and place in the freezer. Once ice crystals start to form scrape the mixture with the tines of a fork every 30 minutes as the mixture freezes, until granita is fully frozen but scoopable consistency (about 3 hours).

– Remove from freezer and stir with a fork to break it up and scoop into individual serving dishes or glasses.

Prep time:

30 minutes
