Time 4h45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 4

1/4 cup water
65 grams (about 1/4 cup plus 1 teaspoon) sugar
680 grams raspberries
1/2 teaspoon rose water

Steps:

  • Combine the water and sugar in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until the sugar has dissolved. Remove from the heat and allow to cool.
  • In a blender, purée the raspberries with the sugar solution and remaining ingredients until smooth. Chill in the refrigerator for 2 hours or overnight.
  • Chill a 9-by-11-inch baking dish in the freezer. Blend the purée with an immersion blender for 30 seconds and scrape into the chilled baking dish and place back in the freezer. Set the timer for 30 minutes. Using a fork, scrape the ice crystals from the outside of the baking dish toward the center. Return to the freezer and set the timer for another 30 minutes. Continue to scrape the mixture with a fork every 30 minutes until you have a uniform frozen mixture. It should not be frozen solid. If you forget to scrape and the mixture does freeze like an ice cube, cut into chunks and use a food processor fitted with the steel blade to break it up. Transfer to a container and freeze. Allow to soften for 15 minutes in the refrigerator before serving.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my granita turned out more like a slush. I think I might have added too much water.

This granita is a bit too icy for my taste. I think I'll try blending it until it's smoother next time.

This granita is a great way to use up leftover rose petals. I had some left over from a bouquet of flowers and they worked perfectly in this recipe.

This granita is a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

This granita is a bit tart for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I think it would be perfect served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
