Granitas

Granita by Any Name Would Taste as Sweet

During my childhood, one of my father's summer specialties was pineapple-buttermilk sherbet. Put aside thoughts of a creamy, citrus dessert combining a tart tropical taste with the refreshing cool of mountain snow: This was a pan of frozen buttermilk with rock-hard chunks of pineapple embedded in it.

Lovely! After enticing us with pillows of creamy buttermilk and pineapple, I was so afraid you'd nixed his version entirely! So glad, not!

Alanna,
The orange was my favorite, especially if you can find blood oranges.

I love, love, love granitas, but just don't have the patience to stir every half hour or so.

I loved the description of the fluffy crystals bursting in your mouth- I'm hungry!

S'kat,
"don't have the patience to stir every half hour or so. "

That was my father's problem. But it's sure worth it.

Kevin-
I am so disappointed!! After practically BEGGING you for a hands-on cooking class - I just got the new schedule from Glass Bazaar and I'm absolutely sick! The hands-on (!!!) class that you are offering is right in the middle of a conference in Detroit and I'm going to have to miss it! Are you planning any more like this?
Thanks!
Andrea

Andrea,
This is the first hands-on class we've tried, if it goes well we'll do more next winter.
