Mouthwatering Watermelon Granita

1. 1

   Put the watermelon in a food processor or blender and process on high speed until smooth.

2. 2

   Add the lime juice and agave nectar to the food processor or blender and pulse to combine.

3. 3

   Transfer to a freezer-safe 8 by 10-inch pan with sides at least 2 inches high and freeze for 1 hour.

4. 4

   Use a fork to rake the mixture, breaking up the frozen parts into smaller chunks and pushing them toward the center like a pile of leaves.

5. 5

   Return the granita to the freezer and repeat the raking process twice more at 30 minute intervals until entirely frozen.

6. 6

   A fun variation on any granita is fruit drops, which I think of as a frozen version of Tootsie Pops, especially the part where you get to the sweet middle.

7. 7

   Pour the liquid mixture into an ice cube tray, then stick a few blueberries into each of the compartments.

8. 8

   Theyll end up suspended in the middle after the liquid freezes.

9. 9

   Put a toothpick or popsicle stick into each while they freeze and you can enjoy the fruit drops straight up, or skip the sticks and use them in beverages.

10. 10

    Either way, these fruit drops are a treat for the eyes, and great for people with mouth sores or anyone who wants to stay hydrated.

11. 11

    Store in an airtight container in the freezer for 3 weeks.
