When temperatures reach 100 F here in Cali, I only want to eat COLD things. Last summer I made some Granitas – Maui Mango Ginger and Nectarine Mint . This year I am trying Honeydew Melon with fresh mint.
Melon Mint Granita
1/4 of a ripe Honeydew Melon, pealed and cut into chunks
1/4 of a ripe Honeydew Melon, pealed and cut into chunks
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup sugar
Juice of one fresh lemon
2 tsp. mint
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.
What do you like to eat when it’s too hot to cook?
