How to make it
Method
01
Simmer the blackcurrants with the sugar and lemon juice for five minutes, until the fruit bursts. Keep back four spoonfuls for serving.
02
Push the rest through a sieve into a shallow metal tray and leave it to cool completely.
03
Stir in the Blackcurrant, gently, and put the tray in the freezer.
04
After an hour, scrape the frozen edges into the middle with a fork. Repeat every forty minutes until it is all loose crystals.
05
Spoon the granita into cold bowls, add a scoop of ice cream and finish with the reserved fruit.
The tip
A metal tray freezes faster than a plastic tub, and the shallower the layer, the finer the crystals.
