Watermelon Granita

Yesterday, I came down with a 24 hour ick which made me weak and grouchy. Luckily I was revived this morning with some watermelon granita which I had the good sense to start freezing before I got sick. I chose to make this over sorbet because I am lazy.


Final outcome of my watermelon surplus:
1/2 made into Watermelon Salad
1/2 made into Watermelon Granita
1 eaten daily for breakfast
1 made into a gallon of wine

The two remaining melons got yucky soft spots before I got around to them. We then created a new Olympic event, a biathlon composed of a watermelon toss and sprint. In this event, watermelons are chucked into the retaining pond of your complex and you sprint back home before your neighbors see you.
