Number of Servings:
Ingredients:
- 9 cups - watermelon (about 4 pounds with the rind) seeded, cubed
- 1 cups - fresh mint leaves finely chopped, plus more for garnish
- 1/3 cups - fresh lime juice
- 1/3 cups - sugar
Directions:
Working in two batches, purée the watermelon in a food processor. Strain the purée through a fine-mesh sieve, forcing the liquid out with a wooden spoon. Discard the solids.
Combine the watermelon purée, mint, lime juice and sugar in a 9-by-13-inch metal pan. Place the mixture in the freezer, scraping it thoroughly with a fork every 20-30 minutes for about 2-1/2 hours until the granita resembles coarse crystals.
Scrape one last time and spoon into parfait glasses or bowls. Top with a mint sprig.
