Granitas are the ultimate easy, refreshing make-ahead dessert. You need little more than fruit, sugar and water for the most basic ones. This version adds an adult twist with some Manzanilla sherry, which adds a complexity of flavor without overshadowing the fruit base.

SIMPLE FRUIT JUICE GRANITA

Simple Fruit Juice Granita image

This is a very simple treat that can be used with your favorite fruit juices to make many different variations. My favorite variation has banana in it. It brings a bit of creaminess to the icy treat. The small bottles of prepackaged juice in the produce section are the perfect amount of juice for this recipe--just pick a flavor! Don't let the mixture freeze completely before you scrape. The secret is to scrape as it freezes.
