After serving a heavy holiday meal, I like to offer a light, refreshing dessert, like this gorgeous granita. Because it can be made ahead, there's no last-minute fuss. Ingredients:
3-1/2 teaspoons grated lime peel |
1-3/4 cups unsweetened cranberry juice |
1-1/2 cups sugar |
1-3/4 cups champagne |
Directions:
1. Place the lime peel in a small saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil. Cook and stir for 1 minute. Drain and discard liquid; set the peel aside.
2. In a small saucepan, bring cranberry juice and sugar to a boil. Cook and stir until sugar is dissolved. Remove from the heat; stir in champagne and lime peel.
3. Transfer to a 13-in. x 9-in. x 2-in. dish; cool to room temperature. Freeze for 1 hour; stir with a fork. Freeze 2-3 hours longer or until completely frozen, stirring every 30 minutes.
4. Stir granita with a fork just before serving; spoon into dessert dishes. Yield: 4 cups.
