Mixed Berry and Cabernet Granita
Ingredients
- 3 cups fresh strawberries
- 1 cup fresh blackberries
- 3/4 cup water
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 cup Cabernet Sauvignon
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 cinnamon stick
Instructions
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine all ingredients and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes. Remove from heat and let stand for at least 15 minutes. Strain mixture through a colander over an 9x13-inch glass baking dish (do not press excess juice from berries). Reserve berries for another use. Cover dish with plastic wrap and place in the freezer until partially frozen, about 2 hours. Remove mixture from freezer and rake with a fork from the edges to the center of the pan. Return to the freezer and repeat process every hour until completely frozen, about 3 additional hours. When ready to serve, fluff granita with a fork and spoon into chilled cocktail glasses or ramekins. Makes about 4-6 servings.
