Champagne Grape Granita

Adapted from Oprah.
Servings 8 servings

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds champagne grapes*
  • 1 cup white wine or water
  • 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons sugar (plus additional to taste)

Instructions

  • In a food processor, puree champagne grapes. Let mixture sit for at least 20 minutes.
  • Strain the puree through a fine mesh basket strainer into a metal bowl, pressing skins to squeeze out as much juice as possible. Whisk in wine, lemon juice and sugar (taste and add more sugar if needed).
  • Cover with plastic wrap and freeze mixture for 2 hours. Take the bowl out of the freezer and scrape the icy bits from the edges to the center.
  • Repeat this scraping process every 30 minutes until the entire mixture is frozen and flaky.

Notes

*Can’t find champagne grapes? You could also use green, red or black seedless grapes. If you want to use red or black grapes, I would recommend using 1 cup of red wine rather than the white wine.
