You can make Granitas the simple way or you can use the "from-scratch" method. All you need for the simple method is ice and a blender. If you would like to use the from-scratch method, please read the following two tips to make your granita experience more enjoyable:

Tip #1 Simple Syrup - one of the main ingredients in granitas, this recipe will come in handy. If you plan on making granitas often, keep a quart or two on hand to save time. Recipe:

Combine equal parts sugar and water, depending on how much you want to make, and boil (about two minutes), stirring occasionally to help the sugar dissolve. Cool the mixture before using.

Tip #2 The Egg Test - This will come in handy to ensure that you add the proper amount of sugar (simple syrup) for freezing your granitas.

Pour all the ingredients (mixed according to the relevant recipe), except the simple syrup, into a deep-sided container and gently place one egg, still in the shell, in the liquid. Pour simple syrup into the container until the egg floats with a nickel-sized area visible. Remove the egg and follow the rest of the instructions.

Apple/Tarragon Granita - servings will vary with serving size
1 quart reconstituted Fruitful Apple #014 or #001
1 oz fresh tarragon
Simple Syrup (see tip #1 above for recipe)
1 egg (for egg test)
Blend the apple juice and the tarragon until the tarragon is completely blended. Perform the egg test to add the proper amount of simple syrup (see tip #2 above). Pour the mixture in a shallow container (make sure it is freezer safe!) and freeze overnight. To serve, scrape the granita with a fork or an ice cream scoop and place in cups or small bowls.

Orange Creme Granita - servings will vary with serving size; makes approximately 20 oz of ready-to-drink granita
