Ingredients

• 2 cups (chopped) Rhubarb
• 2 cups (hulled and chopped) Strawberries
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 cup Water
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons Honey

Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the rhubarb, strawberries, granulated sugar, and water.

Step 2

Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat. Once it boils, reduce the heat to low and simmer for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the rhubarb is soft and the strawberries are broken down.

Step 3

Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the mixture cool to room temperature.

Step 4

Once cooled, transfer the mixture to a blender or food processor and blend until smooth.

Step 5

Pour the blended mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl to remove any pulp, pressing gently with a spatula to extract all the liquid.

Step 6

Stir in the lemon juice and honey until fully incorporated.

Step 7

Pour the strained mixture into a shallow, freezer-safe dish and place it in the freezer.

Step 8

After 1 hour, remove the dish from the freezer and use a fork to scrape and stir the mixture, breaking up the ice crystals. Repeat this process every 30 minutes for 3-4 hours until the mixture is fully frozen and has a fluffy, granita-like texture.

Step 9

Serve the Rhubarb Strawberry Ice in chilled bowls or glasses. Enjoy immediately!
