Instructions
Making Blueberry Granita is a straightforward process if you follow these simple steps:
1. Prepare Blueberries: Rinse the blueberries under cool water, removing any stems or damaged berries.
2. Blend Ingredients: In a blender, combine blueberries, sugar, water, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. Blend until smooth.
3. Strain the Mixture: Pour the blended mixture through a fine-mesh strainer into a bowl to remove any pulp. This will give you a smooth consistency.
4. Transfer to a Container: Pour the strained mixture into a shallow container. A glass or metal tray works best for quick freezing.
5. Freeze the Mixture: Place the container in the freezer. Let it freeze for about 2-3 hours, or until solid.
6. Fluff the Granita: Once frozen, use a fork to scrape the mixture, creating fluffy crystals. Return to the freezer for about 30 minutes to set.
7. Serve: Scoop the granita into serving bowls or glasses. Garnish with fresh blueberries or mint leaves if desired!
