Peach and Champagne Granita

Take Home Chef, Episode 87: Melissa's Menu

INGREDIENTS

1 pound/450 g ripe peaches, pitted, coarsely chopped
1/4 cup/55 g sugar
1/4 cup/55 ml water
2/3 cup/140 ml brut champagne

PREPARATION:

Place the peaches, sugar and water in a food processor and puree until smooth. Press the puree through a fine-meshed strainer and into a 13x9-inch/33x23-cm baking dish. Stir the champagne into the peach puree.
Freeze until the puree is icy around the edges, about 1 hour. Using a large fork, stir the icy parts of the puree into the middle of the dish. Continue to freeze for about 2 1/2 hours or until the mixture is frozen, stirring the edges into the center every 30 minutes.
Using a large fork, scrape the granita into flaky crystals. Cover and keep frozen. Spoon the granita into chilled martini glasses and serve immediately.
