Perhaps the most eye-popping of all the granitas, this one has a color that perfectly matches the dazzling flavor of the raspberries. If using frozen raspberries, let them thaw before you purée them.

　　

Ingredients

makes about 2 cups (500 ml)

　　4 cups (480 g) raspberries, fresh or frozen

　　1 cup (250 ml) water

　　1/4 cup (50 g) sugar

　　

Step 1

Pass the raspberries through a food mill, or purée in a food processor and press through a sieve to remove the seeds. Stir in the water and sugar, stirring until the sugar is dissolved. Freeze according to the instructions for freezing granita on page 145.

Super Lemon Ice Cream (page 85) and Lemon-Buttermilk Sherbet (page 117) are two of my favorite pairings with Raspberry Granita.
