  1. Combine sugar and water in small saucepan. Bring to a boil, remove from heat, and allow to cool.<\/li>\n
  2. Place all ingredients, including sugar water, into blender, and process until smooth. (Depending on blender capacity, you may need to do this in batches.) Pour mixture into a 9×13 metal pan, and place in the freezer. Every 30 minutes or so, scrape and stir with a fork.<\/li>\n
  3. After about 2 hours, Granita should be close to frozen. Give it a last scrape and stir, then divide among chilled bowls, and garnish with mint sprigs.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","prep_time_in_minutes":"0","calories_in_grams":"0","cook_time_in_minutes":"0","fiber_content_in_grams":"0","publication_status_path":"\/recipes\/watermelon-strawberry-granita","is_sponsored":"","is_exclusive_content":"0","sponsored":false,"post_video":false,"add_square_crop":true,"membership_content":false,"exclude_post":true,"monounsaturated_fat_content_in_grams":"","polyunsaturated_fat_content_in_grams":"","alternate_paths":false,"test_sync":"","featured_image_square_crop":30071},"yoast_head":"\nWatermelon
