Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

5 tablespoons sugar
1 quart (4 cups) ripe strawberries, washed and hulled
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons vodka (optional)
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 tablespoon aged balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon basil leaves, cut into thin strips

Steps:

To make the sugar syrup, combine 3/4 cup water and 4 tablespoons sugar in a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring until sugar has dissolved, about 2 minutes. Cool to room temperature.
Place half the strawberries in a blender with the sugar syrup, lemon juice, and vodka, if using. Puree. Transfer to a fine mesh sieve and press on puree, pushing the pulp through. Discard seeds remaining in sieve.
Pour mixture into a shallow 8-inch square pan. Freeze 2 to 3 hours, or until almost completely frozen. Scrape granita with a fork to make it flaky. Freeze for another hour and scrape again. When ready to serve, scrape again.
About 30 minutes before serving, quarter remaining strawberries lengthwise and transfer to a bowl. Add remaining tablespoon sugar, pepper, and vinegar; mash slightly with a fork, keeping mixture chunky. Add basil.
To serve, scrape some granita into 4 glasses and top with smashed strawberries.

FRESH STRAWBERRY GRANITA

Fresh Strawberry Granita image

You can make and serve this gorgeous Italian frozen iced dessert anytime, but it's really best enjoyed during the summer months. Not only is it cold and delicious, but it forces you to stick your hot, sweaty face in the freezer four or five times to stir. The technique of using a fork several times to mix the freezing granita results in perfect icy crystals.

Time 2h25m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

2 pounds ripe strawberries, hulled and halved
⅓ cup white sugar, or to taste
1 cup water
½ teaspoon lemon juice
¼ teaspoon balsamic vinegar
1 tiny pinch salt

Steps:

Rinse strawberries with cold water; let drain. Transfer berries to a blender and add sugar, water, lemon juice, balsamic vinegar, and salt.
Pulse several times to get the mixture moving, then blend until smooth, about 1 minute. Pour into a large baking dish. Puree should only be about 3/8 inch deep in the dish.
Place dish uncovered in the freezer until mixture barely begins to freeze around the edges, about 45 minutes. Mixture will still be slushy in the center.
Lightly stir the crystals from the edge of the granita mixture into the center, using a fork, and mix thoroughly. Close freezer and chill until granita is nearly frozen, 30 to 40 more minutes. Mix lightly with a fork as before, scraping the crystals loose. Repeat freezing and stirring with the fork 3 to 4 times until the granita is light, crystals are separate, and granita looks dry and fluffy.
Portion granita into small serving bowls to serve.
