Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 lemon
1 ½ cups water
¾ cup white sugar
3 sprigs fresh mint
2 cups fresh blueberries
2 cups fresh raspberries

Steps:

  • Remove lemon zest in 1- to 2-inch sections using a vegetable peeler, avoiding the bitter white pith. Squeeze and reserve 2 teaspoons of juice.
  • Stir lemon zest, water, sugar, and mint together in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring until sugar dissolves. Let cool, 10 to 15 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and chill, covered, for 45 minutes. Remove and discard lemon zest and mint.
  • Process blueberries and raspberries in a food processor until smooth. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl with chilled syrup; discard seeds. Stir in reserved lemon juice.
  • Pour berry mixture into a 9x13-inch baking pan. Cover and freeze until edges are slushy, 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Stir with a metal spoon, scraping frozen mixture off bottom and sides of pan. Cover and freeze, stirring every 30 minutes, until mixture is slushy, about 3 hours more. Cover and freeze until firm, 4 to 24 hours more.
  • Let stand and soften slightly at room temperature, 5 to 10 minutes. Scrape surface of granita with a fork and spoon into chilled dessert dishes.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe, flavorful berries for the best results.
  • Use a good quality Kirschwasser. A clear, unflavored Kirsch is best.
  • If you don't have Kirschwasser, you can substitute another fruit brandy, such as Calvados or poire William.
  • Fresh mint leaves add a refreshing flavor to the dish. If you don't have fresh mint, you can use dried mint, but it will have a less intense flavor.
  • Serve the berries with Kirsch and mint immediately, while they are still cold and refreshing.
