Watermelon-Lime Granita
 
Makes about 5 Servings
Ingredients
  • ¾ cup sugar
  • ¾ cup water
  • 1⁄8 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1¼ cups fresh watermelon juice
  • 2 teaspoons lime zest
  • ¼ cup fresh lime juice
  • Garnish watermelon wedges, lime slices
Instructions
  1. In a small heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine sugar, ½ cup water, and salt. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until sugar dissolves. Add watermelon juice and lime zest and juice, stirring until well combined. Transfer mixture to a freezer-safe medium shallow dish. Cover and freeze until edges of mixture begin to set, 30 minutes to 1 hour.
  2. Using a fork, scrape mixture to break up frozen pieces. Freeze until mixture resembles fluffy shaved ice, about 4 hours, scraping with a fork to break up frozen pieces every 30 minutes. Serve in chilled glasses. Garnish with watermelon wedges and lime slices, if desired.
