A granita is very similar to a sorbet in terms of how it's made, except that it's made by hand and scraped rather than being churned during the freezing process so that it freezes in large scale-like pieces and it's these that are served.
Ingredients:
1kg blackcurrants
300g caster sugar
6 mint leaves
Method:
Place the ingredients in a pan and add just enough water to cover. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer and cook until the blackcurrants are just soft enough to be easily mashed with the back of a spoon (about 10 minutes).
Turn into a sieve sat on top of a large bowl and push the blackcurrant flesh through the sieve with the back of a spoon. Allow to cool a little then turn into a large freezer-proof tin or tub. Allow to cool completely then place in a freezer and allow to freeze completely.
To serve, place the blackcurrant granita in the fridge for about 15 minutes, scrape with a fork then turn into a chilled serving glass and serve.
