AUTHENTIC SICILIAN GRANITA AL LIMONE | ALLRECIPES



Authentic Sicilian Granita al Limone | Allrecipes image

Lemon granita is one of my favorite things about Sicily. It's easy to make at home if a trip to the island isn't possible. Using Meyer lemons, which tend to be sweeter than regular lemons, helps replicate the flavor of authentic Sicilian lemons. Serve as an after-dinner refresher or afternoon pick-me-up. And for a nice twist, add a small scoop to your iced tea, like they do in Sicily.

Total Time 3 hours 40 minutes

Prep Time 20 minutes

Cook Time 5 minutes

Yield 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 cups water
1 cup white sugar
1 cup freshly squeezed Meyer lemon juice
5 lemon wheels
2 tablespoons lemon zest

Steps:

  • Pour water and sugar into a saucepan. Heat over medium, stirring until sugar melts; do not bring to a boil. Remove from heat when the sugar has completely dissolved and the water is no longer cloudy. Add lemon juice and stir until combined. Refrigerate until cold, about 30 minutes.
  • Pour into a freezer-safe dish that has a tight lid. Cover and put into the freezer until it begins to freeze around the edges, but is still slushy in the center, about 45 minutes.
  • Lightly stir the crystals from the edge of the granita mixture into the center using a fork and mix thoroughly. Replace the lid. Close the freezer and chill until granita is nearly frozen, 30 to 40 more minutes.
  • Mix lightly with a fork as before, scraping the crystals loose. Repeat freezing and stirring with the fork 3 to 4 times until crystals are separate and the granita is light, dry, and fluffy.
  • Serve each portion with 1/2 of a lemon wheel and fresh lemon zest on top.

GRANITA RECIPES - GREAT BRITISH CHEFS
Granita recipes. Granita is a Sicilian dessert made primarily from ice and sugar, flavoured with anything from fruit to coffee. It has a coarser texture than sorbet, which in part comes from its interrupted freezing process - the dessert is flaked with a fork regularly during freezing, in order to form crystals. For a fresh tasting cocktail alternative in the Summer, serve up Marcus Wareing’s gin and tonic granita, an adult treat that looks stunning garnished with edible flowers.
