Time 5h30m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 c water
2/3 c sugar
1/4 tsp vanilla extract
1/8 tsp salt
5 whole allspice
1 1/2 lb black plums, quartered and pitted
2 Tbsp fresh lime juice
3/4 c basil leaves

Steps:

  • 1. Place the first 6 ingredients in a large saucepan over medium-high heat; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer for 15 minutes or until the plums begin to fall apart, stirring occasionally. Place the pan in a large ice-filled bowl; cool completely; stirring occasionally. Discard allspice.
  • 2. Place the plum mixture, lime juice, and basil in a blender; process until well blended. Press the plum mixture through a fine sieve over a bowl, and discard the solids.
  • 3. Pour the mixture into an 8-inch square glass or ceramic baking dish. Cover and freeze until partially frozen (about 2 hours). Scrape with a fork, crushing any lumps. Freeze for 3 hours, scraping with a fork every hour, or until completely frozen.

The granita was a bit too sweet for my taste, but I think that's just because I used ripe plums. Next time I'll use slightly less sugar.
