Strawberry Watermelon Granita
Granita: semi-frozen dessert made from sugar and water and various flavorings.
Put metal baking pan in freezer to chill while preparing the mixture.
1½ cups strawberries (I used previously frozen)
3 cups cubed seedless (or remove the seeds) watermelon
½ cup sugar
1 Tbsp lime juice
Blend ingredients until smooth. Pour into metal baking pan and place in freezer for one hour. No longer, no less, exactly one hour. Remove and use a fork to mash down any big chunks. Return to freezer for 2 more hours. Scrape surface until flakey with a fork, like shaved ice. Scoop in bowls and serve. Just like homemade SNO-CONES but when you add cool whip to it, it’s even better!
