Time 3h20m

Yield 16 strawberries

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 cup sugar
1/4 cup apple juice
1/4 cup sparkling white wine
1 cup basil leaves
16 large strawberries

Steps:

  • Make simple syrup: Combine the sugar and 1 cup water in a saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves.
  • Bring 1 cup of the simple syrup, the juice and wine to a boil in a saucepan over high heat. Carefully transfer to a blender, add the basil and pulse until smooth (leave the filler cap off to let steam escape). Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into an 8-inch square metal pan. Freeze 3 to 4 hours, scraping the mixture with a fork every 20 minutes to make it slushy; freeze until ready to serve.
  • Cut off the tops of the strawberries and trim the bottoms so that they sit upright. Using a small melon baller, scoop out the inside of each strawberry to make a small cup. Fill with a spoonful of the granita.
  • Serve immediately.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my granita turned out more like a slush. It was still good, but not what I was expecting.

I thought the basil was a bit overpowering. Next time I'll use less of it.

This was absolutely delicious! The combination of strawberries and basil was perfect, and the granita was so refreshing. I loved the texture of the granita, it was like a cross between a sorbet and a slush. I will definitely be making this again!
