Watermelon Granita

Ingredients:
sugars, granulated
watermelon, raw
lemon juice, raw

Directions:
In a small saucepan combine the sugar and 3/4 cup water, bring the mixture to a boil, stirring until the sugar is dissolved, and let the syrup cool.
In a blender or food processor puree the watermelon.
In a bowl combine the puree, the syrup and the lemon juice and chill the mixture, covered, for 1 to 2 hours or until it is cold.
The mixture may be made up to this point 1 day in advance and kept covered and chilled.
Stir the mixture, transfer it to 2 metal ice cube trays without the dividers or a shallow metal bowl, and freeze it, stirring it with a fork every 20 to 30 minutes depending on the temperature of the freezer and crushing the large frozen clumps, for 2 to 3 hours, or until it is firm but not frozen hard.
Scrape the granita with a fork to lighten the texture and serve it in chilled bowls.
