Recipe



* (If using frozen strawberries, reduce the amount
of sugar to 1/4 cup)

Combine the water and sugar in a saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat, stirring just until the sugar is dissolved. Boil uncovered for exactly 5 minutes, remove from the heat immediately, and allow to cool to room
temperature.

Add the remaining ingredients, stir, and pour into a metal pan, such as a cake pan. Freeze for 3 to 4 hours, stirring every 30 minutes with a fork and scraping the ice crystals that form around the edge of the pan.
When finished, the granita should have a fine, crumbly texture, like coarse snow. If a coarser texture is preferred, freeze the liquid in ice cube trays, and then crush the cubes in an ice crusher or food processor immediately prior to serving.
Each recipe makes about 3 cups.
Makes 3 servings.
