Nice ice: easy home-made ice-creams

175g sugar
600ml water
juice of 1 lime
450g strawberries

1. Place the sugar and water in a saucepan and dissolve over a gentle heat. When fully dissolved, simmer for 5 minutes.
2. Remove from the heat, add the lime juice and leave to cool.
3. Purée the strawberries in a food processor or blender and slowly pour in the sugar syrup. Pour into a shallow plastic container and freeze until frozen. This may take 4-6 hours.
4. Loosen the granita with a fork to break up the ice crystals and serve in individual glasses.

Variation
Use raspberries in place of strawberries, sieving out the seeds before blending with the sugar syrup.
