Just got my July Martha Stewart Living(yes I am a Martha fan, have been for at least 10 years, don't judge me). I made a recipe from the issue, Peach Granita. Then I was inspired to make my own twist on it. So, here's the recipes. It's actually a very healthy treat as well.
Peach Granita with Fresh Basil
4 ripe peaches, peeled, halved, pitted, and coarsely chopped
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup sugar
1 tbsp. fresh lemon juice
Coarse salt
2 tsp. finely chopped fresh basil (my kids referred to this as the grass in their dessert)
Combine all ingredients in a blender and puree. Pour into a 8" glass pan. Freeze for at least 2 1/2 hours, scraping it with a fork every hour. Mixture should be frozen, but fluffy. Top with basil.
Nectarine Granita with Fresh Mint (This is my version)
The recipe is the same as above - just substitute nectarines for peaches and mint for the basil.
I have plans for a Tropical Mango Ginger Granita (I will make that one while I'm in Maui and can get fresh mangoes).
wow you have been busy on here! lots of delicious looking things, don't know how you have time for them all! however, i still really want to see that fresh roasted tomato sauce...
