Ingredients

• 4 cups (1  3/4 pounds) cubed seedless watermelon (from a 4-lb. melon)
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice

Preparation

Step 1

Purée all ingredients in a blender until smooth. Pour into a 9x9x2" metal baking pan. Freeze mixture for 1 hour. Stir, mashing any frozen parts with the back of a fork. Cover and freeze mixture until firm, about 2 hours. Using a fork, scrape granita vigorously to form icy flakes. DO AHEAD Can be made 3 days ahead. Cover tightly with foil and keep frozen. Give it a quick scrape before serving.
