Melon & Apple Granita

This granita uses sweet ripe melon for flavor, apple juice instead of sugar and a touch of lime juice to perk up the flavors. Berries look beautiful on top; or if you can find fresh figs, add them. For a vibrant look, make with an orange-fleshed melon, such as cantaloupe, Charentais or orange honeydew.

Watermelon-Blueberry Ice Pops

These were a staff favorite during the development process. The whole blueberries in these pops have the look of watermelon seeds.
