11301 Pineapple Granité 5 mins, plus freezing time 5 mins 4 servings Mon Dec 10 15:00:00 -0800 2007 Wed Oct 22 13:19:35 -0700 2008 Easy French CHOW http://www.chow.com/recipes/11301 Wed, 22 Oct 2008 20:19:35 GMT Blended pineapple and orange are frozen into icy granules Blended pineapple is flavored with orange juice and zest for a light, icy sweet. A study in proportions, granité is nothing more than fruit, sugar, and liquid, and the variation of these few factors means the difference between a slushy and a granular treat. Because pineapple juice is often overly sweet, and because we like the texture the actual fruit provides, we blended up a whole pineapple for this dish. Doing this extends preparation by a few minutes, but our granité is still an easy, no-fail recipe that’s a guilt-free way to satisfy your sweet tooth.

Game plan: Once made, the granité can be stored in the freezer in a container with a tightfitting lid for up to 2 weeks.

  • Return to the freezer and rake again when thoroughly set, about 2 hours more. Transfer to a container with a tightfitting lid and store in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.
