Plum and Ginger Granita Recipe
How to make Plum and Ginger Granita
Method
- Place the ginger, lemon zest and sugar into a small, heavy-based saucepan over a medium heat. Add ½ cup water and bring to a simmer for 10 minutes. Turn off the heat and leave to cool for 30 minutes.
- Strain the ginger syrup. Halve the plums and remove the stones. Process the plums in a high-powered blender, until smooth. Stir in the strained syrup.
- Pour into a 20cm x 30cm freezable container. Place in the freezer for 3 hours or until just frozen.
- Scrape with a fork to create an icy ‘snow’. You can serve now or keep frozen until ready to serve.
- When ready to serve, fork the granita into a fine snow and serve in small, chilled glass bowls. Top with mint leaves and serve immediately.
Optional: You can substitute plums for other stone fruit such as nectarines, peaches or cherries
