    Watermelon Granita

    5 cups seeded watermelon pulp
    1 cup sugar syrup*
    2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
    Thin watermelon wedges, cut into strips for a garnish

    Puree watermelon in a food processor.


    Pour into a 9 x 13 inch baking dish. Stir in the syrup and lemon juice. Freeze for about 4 hours or until frozen solid.


    To serve, scrape up granita with a large spoon and place in goblets, tulip shaped wine glasses or ice cream dishes. Garnish with a narrow wedge of watermelon. Makes 4 servings.
    *To make sugar syrup; Combine 1/2 cup water and 1 cup sugar in a saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Boil for one minute. Stirring constantly until all of the sugar has dissolved. Cool in the refrigerator.

    I've passed this one on to a friend Al as she loves watermelon but gets bored sometimes as she can't think of anything to do with it. Thanks. :-D
