Melon Apple Granita


• 4 cup(s) cubed ripe melon
• 1 cup(s) unsweetened apple juice
• 1/4 cup(s) lime juice
• 1 cup(s) fresh blueberries
• 1 cup(s) fresh raspberries
• Combine melon, apple juice, and lime juice in a blender; puree until smooth. Pour the mixture into a 9-by-13-inch glass or metal pan.
• Place the pan on a level surface in your freezer. Freeze, stirring and scraping with a fork every 30 minutes, moving the frozen edges in toward the slushy center and crushing any lumps, until the granita is firm but not frozen solid, 3 to 4 hours.
• Remove from the freezer; use a metal spatula or large spoon to break up the frozen ice into small slivers. Pack into an airtight plastic container and freeze for at least 1 hour more.
• Remove from the freezer about 20 minutes before serving to soften slightly. Use a wide spoon or ice cream scoop to scrape the granita into shallow bowls. Sprinkle blueberries and raspberries over each portion and garnish with mint leaves, if desired.
