Peach and Lime Granita

Servings: 4 servings
Author: LydiaF

Ingredients

  • 3 medium peaches peeled and sliced
  • 2 tablespoons sugar or more to taste
  • zest and juice of one lime
  • water as needed

Instructions

  • Sugar the peaches and let stand for 20 minutes or so.
  • Stir in the lime juice and zest
  • Use a hand held blender to crush the peaches, adding enough water to get things going if necessary.
  • Transfer the blended peach mixture to a shallow pan and place in the freezer.
  • Every couple hours use the tines of a fork to break up the granita into crystals.
  • To serve, remove the granita from the freezer and let stand for a few minutes to loosen.
  • Scoop into bowls or glasses and garnish with a lime slice and a drizzle of honey if desired.
  • We ate two servings. I used a silicone ice cube tray to refreeze the leftover granita into cubes to use for smoothies.
