WATERMELON GRANITA
A few lazy stirs as this granita sets up in the freezer is really the only tricky thing about this easy and refreshing dessert. It's also a perfect midafternoon cooler for a vacation house full of children.

Steps:
- Cut about 1 pound watermelon into small chunks (discarding the rind), and freeze them. When they're frozen, put them in a blender with 2 tablespoons sugar and 2 tablespoons lemon juice, and blend until the mixture liquefies. Pour the mixture into a shallow glass or ceramic pan, and freeze for about 2 hours, breaking up the ice crystals with a fork every 30 minutes or so. It should be slushy and crunchy.

WATERMELON GRANITA
The granita is a cross between sorbet and Italian ice, and there's a cool trick to get the right icy texture. My version is made with watermelon and a little vodka for a perfect adults-only frozen treat.

Steps:
- Slice, peel, and cube 6 cups of watermelon. Combine coarsely chopped watermelon, sugar, and lime juice in a bowl and let stand until macerated and juicy, 25 minutes.
- Process in a blender until just smooth, then pass through a China cap using the back of a ladle. Transfer to a shallow metal tray and remove the foam on top. Freeze, stirring and scraping occasionally with a fork until crystals form and granita is frozen (2-4 hours). Every 20-30 minutes, scrape a fork through the mixture to create the crystals.
- To serve, divide finely diced watermelon among chilled serving glasses and top with granita. Drizzle with vodka (optional) and serve immediately.

- Put the watermelon and raspberries in a food processor and whizz to a purée, or liquidise in a blender until smooth. Use the back of a spoon to push the fruit purée through a fine sieve into a bowl. Discard any solids left in the sieve.
- Mix the vodka, sugar, lemon and lime juice until the sugar has dissolved, then add to the watermelon/raspberry mixture. Pour into 2 or more plastic, lidded containers that fit easily in your freezer and freeze for 2-3 hours. You don’t want the depth of the liquid to be more than 2-3 cm. Break up the crystals with a fork (you need to do this before the mix freezes too hard). Freeze until ready to eat. Serve in bowls, topped with small mint and basil leaves.

- Roughly chop the watermelon, put it into a blender or food processor with the vodka and whizz until smooth (see tips). Strain into a deep tray, then freeze for 1 hour. Drag a fork through the granita to break up the ice crystals, then freeze for 45 minutes more. Drag the fork through again. Repeat after another 45 minutes or so until the ice has a rough, grainy texture.
- Meanwhile make the syrup. Dissolve the sugar in 80ml water in a pan on a low heat, stirring occasionally, until clear. Boil the syrup briskly, adding the zest and juice of the limes and grated ginger. Cook for about 5 minutes until just syrupy, then cool but don’t put in the fridge. To serve, scoop the granita into glasses, drizzle over the syrup and scatter with the chopped mint.

- Blend: Scoop the fruit out of the watermelon. In a blender or food processor, puree watermelon until it reaches a thin, even consistency. You should have about 6 cups of watermelon juice. If you have seeds in your watermelon, strain them out with a mesh colander. Stir in lime juice and sugar.
- Freeze: Pour into a large baking dish and freeze for about 2 hours. Remove and scrape at frozen sides and top. Place back in freezer. Repeat this process of freezing and scraping, every few hours, until mixture is completely frozen and scraped.
