Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

3/4 cup water
1/2 cup sugar
2 whole allspice
1 cinnamon stick
1/2 vanilla bean, split lengthwise
1 1/2 pounds plums, preferably red-fleshed (about 7 large), pitted, cut into 3/4-inch pieces
1 peach, pitted, thinly sliced
1 nectarine, pitted, thinly sliced
1 plum, pitted, thinly sliced

Steps:

  • Combine water, sugar, allspice and cinnamon in heavy small saucepan. Scrape in seeds from vanilla bean; add bean. Bring to boil, stirring until sugar dissolves. Reduce heat and simmer until liquid is reduced to 3/4 cup, about 2 minutes. Cool syrup completely.
  • Puree 1 1/2 pounds plums in processor. Press enough puree through sieve to measure 1 1/2 cups. Strain syrup into puree and blend well. Transfer mixture to 9x5x3-inch glass loaf dish. Freeze plum mixture until flaky crystals form, stirring every 30 minutes, about 4 hours. (Can be made 1 week ahead. Cover; keep frozen.)
  • Spoon granita into 4 glass goblets. Top with peach, nectarine and plum slices and serve immediately.

This granita was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would have preferred it if it had been less sugary.

This granita was a bit too icy for my taste. I think I would have preferred it if it had been more slushy.

I love plum granita! It's so easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. I like to add a little bit of lemon zest to mine for a extra brightness.
