Watermelon And Lime Granita
I love the flavours of watermelon and lime and this makes a very cool and refreshing treat in the summer months.
Steps
Combine sugar and water in a small saucepan and stir over a low heat until sugar has dissolved.
Bring the mixture to the boil.
Cook without stirring for 3-4 minutes until the mixture is syrupy.
Remove from the heat , stir in the lime juice and rind and allow to cool.
Puree the watermelon in a blender or processor until smooth.
You may need to do it in batches.
Transfer the watermelon puree to a bowl and stir in the lime syrup.
Pour into a shallow metal pan.
Freeze for 3-4 hours , separating and stirring with a fork every half an hour , until the mixture is like shaved ice consistancy.
For a nice presentation serve in martini glasses and garnish with lime slices.
