Steps:
- Slice top 1/2 inch off 12 clementines; reserve. Cut around flesh and scoop out into a sieve set over a bowl; reserve skins, being careful not to tear them. Press flesh to extract juice. Squeeze in juice from tops. (You'll have about 1 cup.) Halve and juice remaining clementines (to yield 2 cups).
- Bring 1/4 cup sugar, 1/4 cup water, and ginger to a boil in a pan, stirring, until sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat; let stand 30 minutes. Discard ginger. Stir in clementine and lemon juices; transfer to a nonreactive 8-inch square baking dish. Freeze until solid, about 3 hours.
- Meanwhile, brush clementine skins with water. Roll in remaining 1/4 cup sugar to coat. Freeze until solid, about 2 hours.
- Scrape granita with a fork to fluff. Spoon granita into clementine "cups." Freeze 10 minutes before serving.
AUTHENTIC SICILIAN GRANITA AL LIMONE
Lemon granita is one of my favorite things about Sicily. It's easy to make at home if a trip to the island isn't possible. Using Meyer lemons, which tend to be sweeter than regular lemons, helps replicate the flavor of authentic Sicilian lemons. Serve as an after-dinner refresher or afternoon pick-me-up. And for a nice twist, add a small scoop to your iced tea, like they do in Sicily.

Steps:
- Pour water and sugar into a saucepan. Heat over medium, stirring until sugar melts; do not bring to a boil. Remove from heat when the sugar has completely dissolved and the water is no longer cloudy. Add lemon juice and stir until combined. Refrigerate until cold, about 30 minutes.
- Pour into a freezer-safe dish that has a tight lid. Cover and put into the freezer until it begins to freeze around the edges, but is still slushy in the center, about 45 minutes.
- Lightly stir the crystals from the edge of the granita mixture into the center using a fork and mix thoroughly. Replace the lid. Close the 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 crystals are separate and the granita is light, dry, and fluffy.
- Serve each portion with 1/2 of a lemon wheel and fresh lemon zest on top.

Steps:
- Pulse ginger in a food processor until finely chopped. Transfer ginger to a large saucepan. Add plums, sugar, salt, and 5 cups water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until sugar has dissolved and plums have broken down, about 15 minutes.
- Pour plum mixture through a fine sieve into a 9-by-13-inch shallow nonreactive dish; discard solids. Stir in vanilla. Chill in freezer until edges are frozen, about 1 1/2 hours. Remove from freezer; scrape with fork tines, pulling from edges into center. Return to freezer. Repeat process every 30 minutes until mixture is the texture of shaved ice, about 4 1/2hours. Spoon into serving bowls, and garnish with plums.
CLEMENTINE GRANITA
Keep extra clementines on hand in case some of the skins tear and for juicing. If you don't feel like juicing enough clementines to yield 2 cups, use store-bought orange juice to make up the difference.
