Ingredients

2 Tablespoons bottled or fresh lime juice(1 lime = 2 Tablespoons)

4 Tablespoons granulated white sugar

1/8 teaspoon salt(optional)

8 cups honeydew melon(about 2 1/2 lbs) seeds & rind removed, cut into 2 inch pieces

Fresh mint leaves or wafer cookies for garnish(optional)

9 x 12 inch metal baking pan or 8 x 8 inch metal baking pan

Directions

STEP ONE -

Put the lime juice, sugar and salt into a blender & cover

Turn blender on and drop melon pieces in thru the lid on blender

Blend until melon is completely pureed, about 1 minute.

You should have about 8 cups

STEP TWO -

Place a fine mesh sieve over a large bowl.

Don't push the pulp through!

Pour the pureed melon into a sieve, letting the juice strain into the bowl and leaving the pulp in the sieve.

Gently scrape the bottom of the sieve with a rubber spatula to help the juice drain through.

You should have about 4 cups of juice

STEP 3-

Pour the juice into a 9 x 12 in metal baking pan and place in freezer for 1 hour. The mixture will begin to freeze

STEP 4-

Stir or scrape the mixture with a fork, making sure not to scratch the metal pan. Continue to scrape every 20 minutes until mixture is completely frozen and has crystallized (about 1 hour )

Cover with plastic wrap and garnish with mint or wafer cookies

Sugar can be reduced to 2 Tablespoons depending on sweetness of melon

Save time and buy packaged melon

(Watermelon can also be used!)

Granita can be made ahead. Once it is scraped, it will retain its light consistency. It may need a quick stir before serving
