strawberry ice

This  Strawberry Balsamic Black Pepper Granita recipe is a zippier version of the basic Italian ice and so easy I can assure you anyone can make it.

Strawberry Balsamic Black Pepper Granita

water

sugar (130 grams)

white balsamic vinegar, optional

black pepper, optional

strawberries*

The name says it all.  Combine the water and sugar in a small sauce pan.  Bring to a rolling boil.  Boil for 1 minutes.

Remove from the heat and stir in the balsamic vinegar and black pepper.  Cool.

Simple Syrup

While the simple syrup is cooling, rinse the strawberries and remove the green tops. Slice the strawberries.  There&#39;s no special size here, just slice them.

Place the strawberries and the cooled syrup in a processor or blender.  Process or blend until smooth, scraping down as necessary.

Pour into the pan and freeze for several hours until it&#39;s about 3/4 frozen.  Scrape with a fork to fluff it up.    Refluff it before serving.

If the granita freezes hard, just let it sit for a few minutes at room temperature to soften. Store in the freezer.

Yield:  About 1 quart.

This is such a delightful summer granita!  The balsamic enhances even mediocre strawberries. Next time I'll use the full amount of black pepper.  Thanks for this keeper recipe!
