[Copied from The Best of Italian Cooking by Nika Hazelton (1989)] Water
Ices (Granite)

Most refresing on a hot day, granite are made with water and flavorings
only. They are admirably suited to being made in the refrigerator, since
they do not have to be stirred as often as cream ices to avoid the
formation of ice crystals. These crystals are part of a grainta, wich is
frozen the same way as ice cubes. The freezing time, though, will be
longer, because of the sugar in the granita.

Strain berries through a fien sieve or puree in a blender. Boil sugar and
water together for 5 minutes. Cool. Combine with berry puree and stir in
lemon juice. Freeze, stirring occasionally. Posted to MCRecipe Digest V1
