About Grape Granita Recipe
I was waiting to post this recipe for the past couple of days. This recipe is similar to my grape popsicles, without any shame i am using the same pics. I love making granita's, check out the watermelon granita which i posted before. This recipe is awesome and very refreshing. I hope you will love this as much as we did.
Granita is a semi-frozen dessert made with sugar, water, and a variety of flavourings. It originated in Sicily and is now available in various forms throughout Italy. Its related to sorbet and Italian ice, but in most of Sicily, its smoother and more crystalline.
Ingredients for Grape Granita Recipe
Grapes :
Grapes are a deliciously sweet fruit that is widely distributed and sold. However, this is not always the case. Grapes can be sour at times, whether they are a bitter variety or were picked before they were ripe.
Sugar :
Sugars may lower the freezing point; nevertheless, if you add enough sugar, your ice will remain soft-ish. Unfortunately, this might lead to an overabundance of sweetness in your ice. Add some inverted sugar instead of regular sugar.
How to Make Grape Granita Recipe
- Start by making sugar syrup, take sugar and water in a sauce pan and heat it till dissolved. Set aside till it cools down.
- Take grapes in a blender and make into a fine puree.
- Pour that over a strainer and press using a spatula till it is all pressed and juice is extracted.
- Now add the sugar syrup over this and mix well.
- Now pour this in a freezer safe shallow container and put in deep freeze and allow it to set overnight.
- Now take it out and use a fork or spoon and scrape it so that it forms like a crushed grape ice..
- Return back to the freezer till you serve.
- Spoon into serving glass and serve immediately.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between granita and sorbet?
Sorbet, like ice cream, sherbet, and gelato, is made in a machine that freezes the ingredients while gently folding in air. Most importantly, churning prevents ice crystal formation. In contrast, granita is all about the ice crystals.
What does a granita taste like?
Grape, Lemon, cinnamon, and jasmine are the classic granita flavours, with variations including strawberry, almond, and coffee. However, depending on the season, there are also pistachio, black mulberry, peach, mandarin, and pineapple. Another popular flavour is "chocolate granita," which is actually made with cocoa.
Who invented granita?
Francesco Procopio dei Coltelli, a cook who lived between Sicily and Paris at the turn of the 16th century, is credited with the invention. The fascinating story of the birth of the world's most famous cold dessert can be found at the Casa del Nespolo Museum in Acitrezza.
