FRESH STRAWBERRY GRANITA
You can make and serve this gorgeous Italian frozen iced dessert anytime, but it's really best enjoyed during the summer months. Not only is it cold and delicious, but it forces you to stick your hot, sweaty face in the freezer four or five times to stir. The technique of using a fork several times to mix the freezing granita results in perfect icy crystals.

Steps:
- Rinse strawberries with cold water; let drain. Transfer berries to a blender and add sugar, water, lemon juice, balsamic vinegar, and salt.
- Pulse several times to get the mixture moving, then blend until smooth, about 1 minute. Pour into a large baking dish. Puree should only be about 3/8 inch deep in the dish.
- Place dish uncovered in the freezer until mixture barely begins to freeze around the edges, about 45 minutes. Mixture will still be slushy in the center.
- Lightly stir the crystals from the edge of the granita mixture into the center, using a fork, and mix thoroughly. Close freezer and chill until granita is nearly frozen, 30 to 40 more minutes. Mix lightly with a fork as before, scraping the crystals loose. Repeat freezing and stirring with the fork 3 to 4 times until the granita is light, crystals are separate, and granita looks dry and fluffy.
- Portion granita into small serving bowls to serve.

STRAWBERRY GRANITA
I discovered this desert when the summer temperatures were nearing 40 C in London. It is adapted from a Delia Smith recipe and I love it because it's virtually no effort to make and so cooling to eat. This version makes a slightly "lumpy" granita, with little bits of strawberries in it, but if you want it ultra smooth, you could push the pureed berries through a nylon sieve, before adding the sugar and lemon juice. Serve in wine glasses for a beautiful, sparkling effect.

Steps:
- Put the strawberries and water in a bowl and then blitz with a hand blender until most of the berries are puréed or use a food processor for a smoother texture.
- Add the sugar and lemon juice and stir a few times to combine.
- Pour into a sealable container, cover and put in the freezer for two hours.
- After two hours, take it out and run a large spoon around the outside, mixing the frozen bits into the unfrozen centre.
- Return to the freezer for another hour, give it another mix, and then freeze again for one last hour.
- Now you should have a whole box of strawberry"snow crystals".
- You can serve it now, or just leave in the freezer for another day.
- If you continue to freeze it, remember to leave enough time to let it sit in the fridge for 30-40 minutes before you want to serve the granita, so you don't have a solid mass.
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.
- In a small saucepan, bring the water to a boil over medium high heat; add the sugar and stir to dissolve, about 30 seconds.
- 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.

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.

Steps:
- Place the strawberries in a bowl with the sugar and stir to coat the berries. Line another bowl with a double layer of cheesecloth and add the berries.
- Gather opposite corners of the cheesecloth and tie tightly. Repeat with the other two corners, leaving the knot open to slip in a wooden spoon handle. Propping the spoon across the top of a large bowl, suspend the berries. Refrigerate overnight.
- Squeeze as much juice as possible from the berries. Correct for sugar and stir in the salt. Reserve the pulp for jam.
- Pour the strawberry juice into a nonstick baking dish. Freeze for several hours. Use a spatula to cut and scrape the frozen juice into an ice the consistency of snow. Refreeze before serving. Place a few scoops of granita in a bowl and drizzle a few drops of the vinegar over it. Serve.
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.
