Chumeia
Vineyard's Honeydew Melon Granita
Ingredients:
1 cup
Silver Nectar
1/4 cup sugar
1/ 4 cup water
4 cups (or approximately 1 medium honeydew melon) cut in chunks
Directions:
Combine the sugar and water in small saucepan and heat just until the
sugar has completely melted. Set aside and let cool. Cut the melon into
chunks and put in a bowl.
Once the sugar water has cooled, pour the melon, Silver Nectar and
sugar water in a blender and blend until completely smooth. Pour
mixture into plastic or non-reactive metal container only about 1/2 to
3/4” deep and place in freezer. How quickly it freezes will vary by
your freezer and what type of container.
Check it after an hour and it should be slushy in the middle and more
solid on the outside. With a fork, gently break up the outer edges and
place back in the freezer. You can repeat this a few more times until
it is a hard icy consistency. Once it is completely frozen, you can
serve in indivdiual cups. A nice option before serving is to sprinkle
some more Silver Nectar over the granita just before serving or serve
it with a chilled glass of Silver Nectar.
