Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups (chopped) Rhubarb
- 2 cups (hulled and chopped) Strawberries
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 cup Water
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Honey
Instructions
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the rhubarb, strawberries, granulated sugar, and water.
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat. Once it boils, reduce the heat to low and simmer for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the rhubarb is soft and the strawberries are broken down.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the mixture cool to room temperature.
Once cooled, transfer the mixture to a blender or food processor and blend until smooth.
Pour the blended mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl to remove any pulp, pressing gently with a spatula to extract all the liquid.
Stir in the lemon juice and honey until fully incorporated.
Pour the strained mixture into a shallow, freezer-safe dish and place it in the freezer.
After 1 hour, remove the dish from the freezer and use a fork to scrape and stir the mixture, breaking up the ice crystals. Repeat this process every 30 minutes for 3-4 hours until the mixture is fully frozen and has a fluffy, granita-like texture.
Serve the Rhubarb Strawberry Ice in chilled bowls or glasses. Enjoy immediately!
