Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2/3 cup water
2/3 cup sugar
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
3 cups green seedless grapes, stemmed (about 1 pound)
3 cups red seedless grapes, stemmed (about 1 pound)
6 small grape clusters (about 3 grapes per cluster)
2 tablespoons plus 3/4 cup chilled Muscat wine
Additional sugar (for dipping)

Steps:

  • Combine 2/3 cup water and 2/3 cup sugar in small saucepan. Bring to boil, stirring until sugar dissolves. Boil 1 minute. Cool syrup. Stir in lemon juice.
  • Puree green grapes and half of lemon syrup in blender (some bits of grape peel will remain). Transfer to 13x9x2-inch metal pan. Puree red grapes and remaining lemon syrup in blender. Transfer to another 13x9x2-inch metal pan. Freeze 1 hour. Stir with fork every hour until frozen, about 4 hours.
  • Meanwhile, dip grape clusters into 2 tablespoons Muscat wine to moisten, then dip grapes into sugar to coat. Place grapes on small tray and freeze until frozen, about 4 hours. (Granitas and grapes can be made 1 day ahead. Cover separately and keep frozen.)
  • Using fork, scrape granitas down length of pan, forming icy flakes. Pour 2 tablespoons Muscat wine into each of 6 wide glasses. Divide green grape granita equally among glasses. Spoon red grape granita alongside green grape granita in each glass. Garnish each with sugared grape cluster and serve.

I had some trouble getting the granita to freeze. I ended up having to freeze it for longer than the recipe called for.

This granita was a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using less sugar or honey in the mixture.

I thought this granita was a bit bland. I would recommend adding some more sugar or honey to the mixture.

I found this granita to be a bit too icy for my taste. I would recommend using a finer strainer when straining the mixture.

This granita is a bit tart, but I like that. It's a nice balance to the sweetness of the frozen sugared grapes.

This granita is a great make-ahead dessert. You can make it a day or two in advance and then just serve it when you're ready.

This granita is a great way to use up leftover grapes. I had a bunch of grapes that were starting to go bad, so I used them to make this granita and it turned out great!
