For a more intense strawberry flavor, consider macerating the strawberries with the sugar for 30 minutes before blending. This will draw out their juices and enhance the sweetness. Adjust the amount of sugar to your liking, depending on the sweetness of your strawberries. Taste the mixture before freezing and add more sugar if needed. Don't skip the balsamic vinegar! It adds a subtle depth of flavor that complements the sweetness of the strawberries. If you don't have balsamic vinegar, a tiny splash of vanilla extract can provide a similar aromatic note. Ensure your freezer is set to the correct temperature for optimal freezing.

Oct 24, 2024I found that my granita froze a little too solid. Next time, I'll stir it more frequently.
