Print Pin
Prep Time: 3 hours 30 minutes
Cook Time: 5 minutes
Total Time: 3 hours 35 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cup water
  • ¾ cup sugar
  • 2 Meyer Lemons
  • ½ pound raspberries about 2 cups

Instructions

  • To make the simple syrup, place water and sugar together and set to high heat. Cook and stir until water has dissolved, about 2 minutes.
  • Remove from heat.
  • Zest both lemons and add zest to the simple syrup. Allow to cool completely.
  • While cooling the syrup, puree the raspberries using a food processor and press through a fine mesh sieve. Reserve the puree and discard the seeds.
  • Once the simple syrup has cooled, combine with puree and add the juice from both lemons.
  • Place in a dish and freeze, scraping the frozen portions of the granita every 45 minutes or so, until frozen, at least 3 hours. Serve immediately or store covered in the freezer.
