Last week I posted a sweet potato recipe<\/a> in an attempt to entice fall to reach California. Apparently it didn’t work because the temperatures here are over 100\u00ba this week. \ud83d\ude41 As you can see in this recipe, I succumbed to the heat and reverted back to iced desserts for the time being.<\/p>\n

If you’re unfamiliar, you can think of “granita” as a super-fancy snow cone. It is an Italian dessert of fresh fruit blended into a smooth puree with sugar and water. This is frozen in a large pan and scraped with a fork into icy flakes. Simple enough, right? It’s an incredibly easy, refreshing, and flavorful dessert. <\/p>\n

This granita, however, is a little different. As you may have noticed, my version includes WINE because 1) it adds the perfect sweet flavor to compliment the watermelon, 2) it prevents the mixture from totally freezing solid for an even nicer texture, and 3) wine is my favorite and I try to find as many uses for it as possible. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
