Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams green seedless grapes
- 50 grams granulated sugar
- 120 milliliters water
- 15 milliliters fresh lemon juice
Instructions
Rinse the green grapes thoroughly under cold water and drain them well.
Place the grapes in a blender and process until completely smooth. Strain the grape puree through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a large bowl, pressing down with a spoon to extract as much juice as possible. Discard the solids.
In a small saucepan, combine the water and granulated sugar over medium heat. Stir until the sugar completely dissolves to create a simple syrup. Allow the syrup to cool to room temperature.
Add the cooled simple syrup and lemon juice to the grape juice. Stir well to combine.
Pour the mixture into a large shallow dish or baking pan, ensuring the liquid is spread out evenly for faster freezing.
Place the dish in the freezer and allow the mixture to begin freezing. After about 45 minutes, use a fork to scrape and stir the partially frozen mixture, breaking up any ice crystals that form.
Repeat the scraping and stirring process every 30 minutes for about 2-3 hours, or until the granita reaches a fluffy, icy consistency.
Spoon the granita into small serving glasses or bowls and serve immediately. Garnish with a few whole green grapes or a sprig of mint if desired.
