Lychee Raspberry Granita – It’s a pink pre-dessert!!

An icy summer dessert ready in 2-3 hours of freezing time. Great as a light end to a meal, or a pre-dessert dessert. And it’s Japanese schoolgirl pink!!

1 can lychees in syrup (mine were light syrup, but if you like it sweet then use the heavy syrup ones)

4 raspberries

1 Tbsp ginger juice (grate ginger, squeeze out the juice)

But all the above (including the syrup) in a blender and purée. Place in a tupperware or something flat that goes in the freezer. Let freeze, scraping every 1/2 hr or so with a fork.

I’ve found that things freeze more quickly if your freezer is not loaded down with 6 month old pasta sauce, passed date ground beef that you’ll definitely use some day, freezer burned curry leaves, and bacon scraps that you got from the butcher last year … I took this opportunity to do a bit of cool cleaning on a hot day… might your freezer enjoy a makeover too?
