MELON WITH BASIL-LIME GRANITA
After such a substantial meal, you'll want to keep things light for dessert. A little fancier than a fruit salad yet almost as easy, this cool combination of musky cantaloupe and honeydew gets an unexpected fillip from icy granita. Dont worry if the granita melts faster than you expect-it will slump into a lovely sauce over the fruit.

BASIL AND LIME GRANITA
This is a lovely fresh granita that couldn't be easier to prepare. We like to add a couple of shots of vodka to it just before freezing, to make a more grown up version. Perfect for after a barbecue! Timing does not include 3 hours freezing time.

STRAWBERRY LIME GRANITA
A granita is similar to a sorbet since it is a mixture of fruit puree and simple syrup that is frozen to develop ice crystals which are broken up with a fork. You can process the mixture in an ice cream maker for a smoother texture and you'll have a sorbet. The simple syrup can be made up to a week in advance, but must be made the night before.

Steps:
- Make a simple syrup the night before, or up to a week ahead of time.

- Reduce heat to low and cook another 5 minutes until the mixture is slightly thickened.
- Remove from heat; let cool to room temperature, then refrigerate overnight.
- About 3 to 4 hours before you will serve the granita, chill a 13x9 inch metal baking pan in the freezer.
- Combine the strawberries and lime juice in a blender; puree on high speed.
- Reduce speed to low setting and add the simple syrup.
- Blend for a few seconds just to incorporate.
- Take the chilled pan from the freezer and pour in the fruit mixture; return to freezer, uncovered.
- After an hour, the mixture should have just begun to set in the middle.
- Using a fork, break up the crystals and swirl around until you have a wide pile of mush in the center of the pan.
- Freeze for two more hours, breaking up the crystals once or twice.
- To serve: remove pan from freezer and let stand several minutes, if frozen solid.
- Use a fork to break up mixture, then scoop, with a spoon, large mounds into serving dishes or martini glasses.
- Drizzle a heaping teaspoon of condensed milk over each portion and a squeeze of lime, if desired.
- Garnish with mint sprig and wedge of lime.
