Jump to RecipeMaking blackberry Italian ice requires just a few simple ingredients that you can easily find at your local grocery store. You'll need blackberries, sugar, lemon juice, and water. You can use fresh or frozen blackberries, whichever is more convenient for you. The lemon juice adds a tangy flavor that balances out the sweetness of the blackberries. And don't forget the water - it's an essential ingredient to achieve the perfect icy texture.
Now that you have all your ingredients, it's time to make the blackberry Italian ice. Start by blending 1 cup of blackberries with 1/2 cup of water in a blender until smooth. Then, strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any seeds. In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup of water and 1/2 cup of sugar. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly until the sugar dissolves. Let the syrup cool for a few minutes, then add it to the blackberry puree along with 2 tablespoons of lemon juice. Mix well and pour the mixture into a shallow dish or pan.
Place the dish in the freezer and let it freeze for about 2 hours. Remove from the freezer and use a fork to scrape the mixture, breaking up any ice crystals that have formed. Return to the freezer and repeat this process every 30 minutes, until the mixture is completely frozen and has a slushy consistency. Serve in bowls or glasses and garnish with fresh blackberries or mint leaves for an extra pop of color and flavor. Enjoy your homemade blackberry Italian ice!
