Fresh melon granita
Source of Recipe
Aunt Saunny
1 cup water
1/4 to 1/3 cup sugar (depending on the sweetness of the fruit)
4 cups peeled, seeded ripe melon, cut into large chunks
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1. Heat water and sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat until
the sugar dissolves; cool until barely warm. In the bowl of a food
processor fitted with a metal blade, combine melon, lemon juice, and
the cooled sugar mixture. Puree until smooth (makes about 4 cups).
2. Transfer mixture to two cake pans and place in freezer. Freeze 1
1/2 to 2 hours, stirring every half hour, until frozen solid. Break
into chunks and return to food processor. Process mixture until
smooth, stirring occasionally if granita is thick. Transfer to a
plastic container. Return to freezer 20 to 30 minutes, until granita
is firm. Serve in prechilled dessert bowls or glasses.
