Here's an easy granita (a grown up snow cone). If you like, top it off just before serving with a diced melon salad made from cubes of cantaloupe, honeydew, and watermelon that have been tossed with a bit of sugar and thinly sliced fresh mint leaves. Ingredients:
4 cups chopped cantaloupe |
1 1/3 cups asti spumante (italian sparkling wine) or water |
3/4 cup sugar |
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice |
Directions:
1. Purée cantaloupe in processor; transfer to large bowl. Add remaining ingredients; stir to dissolve sugar. Pour mixture into 9-inch square metal baking pan. Freeze mixture until partially set, whisking twice, about 2 hours. Freeze uncovered without whisking until completely set, at least 3 hours or overnight. Run tines of fork across surface of granita to form icy flakes. Cover with foil; freeze until ready to serve or up to 2 days. Mound granita in 6 ice-cold Martini glasses. Serve immediately.
