Hot Enough For You?
We're finally getting some summer weather in the San Francisco Bay Area. Yes, some people have actually stopped wearing their light sweaters in the city. (Although I think I spotted a turtleneck one evening last week. Wimps.)
Whenever I feel the need to refresh myself, I eat watermelon. It's my favorite fruit growing up and it's healthy for you because of the zinc contained in the juice. Below is my recipe for a watermelon granita made with Italian Prosecco. Prosecco is an Italian sparkling wine and a lot of chefs recommend it as a cheap substitute for other sparkling wine or Champagne. The combination with the watermelon is great, and just looking at it makes you feel cool, huh? Just remember that Prosecco is alcohol and no heat is used during this prep, so the alcohol doesn't get a chance to burn off. It's all there. So I wouldn't recommend this dessert for a kids party. And remember, don't granita and drive. Enjoy!
