Ingredients
50
g
orange juice
250
g
fructose
800
g
watermelon juice,
(I used a quarter of a large watermelon)
30
g
lemon juice
Method
Warm the orange juice in a sauce pan over a medium heat
Add the fructose and stir until dissolved
Remove from the heat and leave to cool
Cut your watermelon into chunks, removing the peel, and juice
Pass through a sieve to get your 800 grams
Add the watermelon juice and lemon juice to the orange syrup
Mix well and pour into a lidded container that can go into the freezer
Remove every hour and whisk - do this until the ice crystals begin to form
Leave to freeze completely before scraping off the granita with a fork, to serve
Best used within the first 3 days of maming
