  • About

I love serving shot glasses of this refreshing granita as a palate cleanser with a cheese course. If you can’t find muscatel, a sweet riesling will also be great. As a variation, try this with red grapes and red dessert wine.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound seedless green grapes
  • ½ cup white dessert wine such as Spanish white muscatel, Italian moscato, or

Method

Place the grapes in a food processor and puree until smooth, then let stand for 30 minutes. Strain the grapes through a fine sieve into a bowl, pressing on the solids with the back of a large spoon and scraping the bottom of the sieve; discard the solids. Add the muscatel, lemon juice, and sugar and stir well. Freeze as instructed.
