Step-by-step Guide

Method

  1. Make a syrup with the sugar and water.
  2. Mix the water and sugar in a pan and bring to the boil. It should reach 101 ºC.
  3. When it is boiling briskly (after about 2 or 3 minutes) take it off the heat and leave it to cool. DO NOT STIR.
  4. Combine the syrup with the raspberries and blend.
  5. Add a little liqueur to lower the freezing point and stir.
  6. Pass it through a fine sieve.
  7. Leave it in the freezer for about 4 hours, stirring now and then so it takes on a granita texture.
