Number Of Ingredients 7

4 1/2 lb Granny Smith apples
1 (500-mg) tablet vitamin C, crushed
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1 (2-inch) piece peeled fresh ginger
1/2 cup sugar
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh basil
Special equipment: a juicer (optional; see cooks' note, below)

Steps:

  • Slice apples and process enough slices in juicer, skimming and discarding any foam, to measure 3 1/2 cups juice, then transfer juice to a large bowl and stir in vitamin C and lemon juice. Process ginger in juicer, then stir 1 tablespoon ginger juice into apple juice.
  • Pulse together sugar and basil in a blender until sugar is bright green and basil is finely ground, then stir into apple juice until sugar is dissolved. Let stand 5 minutes, then pour through a fine-mesh sieve into an 8- to 9-inch metal baking pan.
  • Freeze, stirring and crushing lumps with a fork every hour, until evenly frozen, 3 to 4 hours. Scrape with a fork to lighten texture, crushing any lumps.

I'm not a big fan of ginger, but I actually really enjoyed this granita. The ginger flavor is very subtle and it really complements the apples and basil.

This granita is a bit too icy for my taste. I think I'll blend it a little more next time.
