Fruit Granita
Recipe courtesy of Louisiana Kitchen & Culture
Serves 8
Ingredients:
Method:
Place your fruit of choice in a blender or food processor and purée.
If the fruit you choose has seeds (strawberries, watermelon) or is particularly fibrous (mango), strain through a fine mesh strainer.
Pour into a 9x13 baking dish and place in the freezer. Stir every 30 minutes or so to break up any clumps. After about 2 hours remove from freezer; you should have a nice, slushy mix. If it does harden, try scraping with a spoon.
Experiment with adding flavors; basil complements watermelon, mint works with lots of fruits, cayenne pepper will add unexpected heat. Try adding a little vanilla to your simple syrup for a hint of warm flavor.
