Strawberry Granita

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.



While making Strawberry Tiramisu a couple of weeks ago, I noticed that the coulis used to dip the lady fingers in was quite tasty and thought that it would make for a nice granita.

Here in Ontario, local strawberries are not yet in season but I do see some good ones imported from the US. Chances are, strawberries are in season where you live or they are about to be.

So, let’s celebrate strawberries!
