Servings: 4 Small Servings
Equipment
- Small Freezer-Safe Dish
Ingredients
- 10 ounces fresh or frozen cranberries
- 1 cup sparkling water I used Cranberry Citrus, but any flavor will work
- 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- pinch kosher salt
Instructions
- In a blender or food processor, add all of the ingredients and blend until the cranberries are completely blended and pureed.
- Pour the cranberry mixture into a freezer safe dish, such as a small casserole dish or baking dish. Freeze for about 2 hours, until frozen all the way through.
- When ready to serve, defrost the granita on the counter for a few minutes to make it easier to scrape and scoop. Using a small cookie scoop or fork, scrape the granita and scoop into serving dishes. Garnish with sugar-covered cranberries and enjoy!
