Ingredients

Makes 6 servings

6 cups (about 2 pounds) seedless watermelon, cubed
1/2 cup fresh lime juice
1/3 cup agave nectar
2 cups fresh blueberries
6 mint sprigs (optional)
  1. In a food processor, puree watermelon, working in 2 batches. Strain puree through a sieve, reserving liquid; discard solids. In a 9" x 13" metal pan, combine watermelon puree, juice and agave. Freeze, scraping thoroughly with a fork every 20 to 30 minutes, until granita resembles coarse crystals, 2 to 4 hours. Remove from freezer; scrape granita once more with a fork. Divide among 6 glasses. Top each with 1/3 cup blueberries and a mint sprig, if desired.

  • Made this for a group dinner and everyone thought it was tasty. I especially liked the fresh, bright flavor. I used a high quality bottled lime juice rather than fresh limes but imagine fresh limes would be even better. Putting watermelon through my food processor was a sticky, somewhat messy, experience but the final product was worth it.
