Berry Liqueur Granita

1. 1

   In a saucepan, bring 1 cup of the water to a boil and simmer the berries for 5 minutes to help release their juice.

2. 2

   If you wish, remove the seeds by pouring the berries and liquid into a strainer.

3. 3

   Return the juice to the saucepan and bring it to a simmering boil.

4. 4

   Add the remaining cup of water and the lemon zest, and stir in the sugar until dissolved.

5. 5

   Allow this syrup to cool, stir in the liqueur, and place it in a covered container in the freezer.

6. 6

   After an hour or so, stir the partially frozen granita to minimize separation, then freeze it solid.

7. 7

   (You may have to turn down the thermostat of your freezer to do so.)

8. 8

   Prepare the granita for serving by vigorously going over it with a fork to create a light, fluffy texture.

9. 9

   If the block is frozen so hard that you have difficulty fluffing it up, allow it to stand out to soften somewhat.
