Summer Melon Granita with Fresh Mint Recipe - (4.6/5) image

Provided by davidv

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 cup sugar
1-1/2 cups water
24 mint leaves
8 oz honeydew, chopped
8 oz cantaloupe, chopped
1 tsp lemon juice
1/8 tsp salt
Mint sprigs for garnish

Steps:

  • Combine the sugar, water, and mint leaves into a medium pot. Boil the mixture for 4 minutes. Remove from the heat and allow it to cool. Remove the mint leaves and discard them. Using a large blender, combine the honeydew, cantaloupe, lemon juice, salt, and cooled sugar-water mixture; blend until completely smooth. Pour the mixture into an airtight container and chill for 3 hours. After the 3 hours have passed, stir the honeydew mixture well and pour it into a 9" x 13" baking pan. Freeze the mixture for 5-6 hours. Make sure to scrape through with a fork every 30 minutes for the first 3 hours (to separate the crystals.) Serve in a chilled glass and decorate with mint sprigs.
