Green Grape Granita

• 1/3 cup dry white wine
• 1/3 cup sugar
• 1 pound (about 3 cups) seedless green grapes
• 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice, or to taste

1. In a saucepan combine the wine, the sugar, and 1 cup water and bring the mixture to a boil, stirring until the sugar is dissolved.
2. Simmer the syrup for 5 minutes and let it cool.
3. In a blender or food processor puree the grapes, add the syrup, and blend the mixture well.
4. Strain the puree through a fine sieve into a bowl, pressing hard on the solids, stir in 1 cup cold water and the lemon juice, and chill the mixture, covered, for 1 to 2 hours, or until it is cold.
5. The mixture may be made up to this point 1 day in advance and kept covered and chilled.
6. 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.
7. Scrape the granita with a fork to lighten the texture and serve it in chilled bowls.
