Strawberry Basil Granita
Ingredients:
sugars, granulated
vinegar, balsamic
strawberries, raw
spices, basil, dried
Directions:
Combine the sugar and vinegar in a small saucepan.
Cook, stirring constantly, over medium heat until the sugar completely dissolves, 3 to 5 minutes.
Remove from the heat and cool, the mixture should be the consistency of maple syrup.
Combine the strawberries and basil in a food processor and puree.
Add the sugar mixture and pulse the machine to combine.
Pour into an 8-inch square baking dish, cover loosely with plastic wrap and freeze for about 2 hours.
When the edges begin to harden, use the tines of a fork to scrape them into bits.
Repeat the procedure in 1 to 2 hours, and then occasionally thereafter, until the mixture is frozen through in "shavings."
Freeze overnight.
Spoon the granita into serving dishes and garnish each with a basil leaf, then serve.
Cook's Notes: Adjust the amount of sugar based on the sweetness of the strawberries.
