Ingredients
  

  • 3/4 cup water
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1 3/4 cups rhubarb chopped
  • 8 sprigs Mariposa Farms Fresh Thyme divided
  • 2 1/2 cups strawberries sliced
  • 2 med-lg lemons squeezed to get 2 tbsp fresh juice

Instructions
 

  • Mix water and sugar together in a medium saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring until the sugar is completely dissolved. Add the rhubarb and 3 sprigs of thyme, return to a boil, stirring frequently.
  • Cover, reduce heat, and simmer for 8-10 minutes or until the rhubarb is tender and squishy. Place the pan in a large bowl that is filled with ice and a little water, stirring occasionally until cool. Discard the thyme sprigs.
  • Place the rhubarb mixture, strawberries, and lemon juice in a blender; process until you have a smooth consistency. Pour the mixture into a 8 inch glass or ceramic dish. Remove the leaves from the remaining sprigs of thyme and mix into the granita.
  • Cover and place in the freezer until partially frozen, about an hour. Scrape and fluff with a fork, crushing any lumps. Return to the freezer, repeat the scraping and fluffing each hour, for about 4 hours or until frozen.
  • To serve, scoop about 1/2 cup per serving into a dish. Add a slice or two of fresh strawberries and serve.
