Granita: Summer Fruit Granita




Source of Recipe


California Tree Fruit Agreement


List of Ingredients




1 lb ripe fresh California peaches, plums OR nectarines
1/2 to 2/3 cup sugar, depending on the tartness of the fruit
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup fresh orange juice
2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
1/2 cup fresh OR frozen raspberries (if using nectarines)



Recipe



Cut fruit into large saucepan, discarding pits. Add sugar and water; bring to boil. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, 10 minutes, or until fruit is tender. Cool; add raspberries, if using nectarines. Pour into blender container and blend smooth, then pour through a sieve to strain (discard any pulp). Stir in citrus juices. Taste for sweetness, adding additional sugar as needed for tart fruit. Pour into 9 - inch square, non-corosive metal or glass baking pan. Cover; freeze until ice crystals form around edges of pan, about half hour. Stir ice crystals toward center of mixture with a fork. Repeat process once or twice before completely frozen to create granular texture. To serve: break up frozen mixture with a fork or chop with a chef's knife. Serve in stemmed glasses.
