Watermelon Mojito Granita

By BobLongo

Ingredients

• 4 lbs. piece seedless watermelon
• 1/2 C caster sugar
• 1/4 C lime juice
• 2 tablespoons Bacardi Limon rum
• 1/2 C chopped fresh mint

Preparation

Step 1

Serves 8-10

Remove rind from melon and cut into 1 1/2" chunks. Freeze watermelon pieces on a parchment paper lined cookie sheet for about 4-5 hours.

Place frozen melon chunks, a few at a time, into a running food processor, blending until smooth. Depending on the size of your machine, this may have to be done in batches. Add remaining ingredients and process until the mixture is smooth, scraping down the sides of the processor as necessary. Freeze mixture in an airtight container. Stir from time to time if you see the mixture beginning to separate as it freezes.
