  • 250g watermelon, diced in 1cm cubes

Instruction

  • <p>FOR THE GRANITA, combine coarsely chopped watermelon and 60g sugar in a bowl and stand until macerated and juicy, about 45-60 minutes. Blend in a food processor until smooth, then pass through a muslin-lined sieve.&nbsp;Transfer to a shallow 20cm x 30cm metal tray and freeze, stirring and scraping occasionally with a fork, until crystals form and granita is frozen (about 4-5 hours).</p> <p>FOR THE GINGER SYRUP, combine the remaining sugar with ginger and 60ml water in a saucepan and stir over medium-high heat until sugar dissolves. Bring to a boil, remove from heat and stand until cool. Strain and refrigerate until chilled.</p> <p>SERVE THE GRANITA in a large, chilled metal dish along with bowls containing the diced watermelon and ginger syrup. Provide chilled glasses and allow guests to help themselves.</p>
