Ingredients

• 2 cups pink grapefruit juice
• 2 cups fresh or thawed frozen strawberries (or raspberries)
• 1/2 -1 cup superfine sugar (NOT powdered sugar)

Directions

1. First, use the blender to make your sugar superfine, if necessary. Pour all the sugar out into a medium bowl (preferably one with a cover).

2. Wash and hull your strawberries and put in your blender (doesn’t matter if there’s still sugar residue left). Blend until smooth.

3. Pour strawberries into the bowl with the sugar, add in the grapefruit juice. Stir well. Pour the the whole bowl back into the blender and blend again, just to make sure the sugar is completely dissolved into the juice.

4. Put a superfine strainer over your bowl and pour the juice through the strainer. This will strain out any last seeds or clumps.

5. Cover bowl with plastic wrap (or a top, if it has one) and place in the freezer. Freeze for 4 hours. After 4 hours, take out the freezer and stir well with a fork (this is to break up the ice and give it the grainy texture). Place it back in the freezer and stir it again with a fork every 30 minutes for the next two hours. It should be ready after about 6 hours total freezing time, but keep stirring it regularly until you are ready to serve it.
