Grapefruit Granita

September 6, 2005 | Filed Under Desserts/Sweets 

The summer days have been filled with hot and humid weather for me. Unbearable. I’ve learned to make this Grapefruit Granita recipe by Dave Lieberman from the Food Network station. It hits the spot — It’s cool, sweet, and has a hint of tart taste.

Recently, the weather has become cooler, but I plan on making this grapefruit granita a couple more times before the cold weather sets in.

Combine juice, water and sugar in bowl and whisk until the sugar has dissolved. Pour liquid into a 13 by 9-inch baking pan. Freeze until hard, about 3 to 4 hours.

To serve, scrape with a fork and spoon the scrapings into small chilled martini glasses or small glass bowls. Garnish with small sprigs of fresh mint.
