Best 3 Peach Granita Recipes
PEACH-ORANGE SHERRY GRANITAS
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.

Steps:
- Bring the sugar, 1/2 cup water and the orange and lemon zest to a simmer in a saucepan, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Let cool, then strain into a blender. Add the peaches and orange and lemon juice. Blend until very smooth.
- Pour into a 9-by-13-inch baking dish and stir in the sherry. Freeze until beginning to harden, 2 to 3 hours, then scrape with a fork. Continue to freeze, scraping occasionally, until frozen, about 3 more hours. Serve garnished with peach and/or orange slices.

Steps:
- Puree peaches, water, sugar, lemon juice, and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a blender; add more sugar to taste. Transfer to an 8-inch-square baking dish. Freeze for 2 1/2 hours, scraping with a fork every hour (mixture should be icy and fluffy). Stir in basil.
SIMPLE FRUIT JUICE GRANITA
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.

Steps:
- Mix sugar and water together in a glass, microwave-safe, 8x8-inch dish. Microwave on high for 2 minutes. Mix with a fork until all sugar is dissolved. Stir in juice.
- Freeze for 1 hour. Scrape mixture with a fork. Return to the freezer in increments of 30 minutes, scraping with a fork to create small granules after each one. The granita is ready when it resembles icy sand, about 3 hours total.
