Equipment

  • Immersion blender, blender, or food processor
  • Fine mesh sieve
  • 8x8-inch or 9x9-inch pan
  • Fork

Ingredients

  • 3 cups mixed berries blueberry, strawberry, raspberry, blackberry (400g)
  • ½ cup granulated sugar 50g
  • 1 cup water 8oz
  • 2 cups red wine 16oz

Instructions

  • Combine the fruit, sugar and water in the food processor and blend until completely pulverized and no chunks remain.
  • Strain the berry mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a bowl. Use a spoon or rubber spatula to pass the juice through the sieve, leaving the seeds behind.
  • Pour the red wine into the berry juice and stir.
  • Pour the sangria mixture into the pan and place into the freezer (uncovered) for about 8 hours.
  • Every one to two hours, use the tines of a fork to scrape the ice throughout the mixture. The sangria will freeze most on the top and sides so be sure to move the ice crystals throughout the entire pan.
  • Continue this process until the liquid has disappeared and soft ice crystals have formed.
  • Scoop into bowls and serve with a spoon and fresh berries.

Notes

I recommend setting a timer to help you remember to scrape the granita!
The first few hours, it may seem like the granita isn't "icing" up, but just keep going and it will get to where it needs to be.
To store the granita, cover it and leave it in the freezer for up to two weeks. Re-scrape the mixture each time before serving.
