Ingredients

The ingredients are:
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 2 tablespoons peppermint (leaves)
  • 1 whole (4 pound) cantaloupe (peeled, sed and cut into 1 inch chunks, this is 1 cantaloupe)
We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: In a saucepan on low heat add the honey and water and cook stirring until honey has dissolved and then stir in the mint. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.

  • Step 2: In a food processor, add the cantaloupe chunks and process until smooth and then transfer to a bowl. Remove the mint leaves from the syrup and discard. Pour the syrup over the cantaloupe puree and stir to combine.

  • Step 3: Transfer mixture into a 7 x 12 inch glass baking dish and freeze, stirring with a fork every 30 minutes for 3-4 hours or until frozen. Scoop into glasses garnished with mint leave, if desired.

  • Step 4: ***Important: do not stir the granita once it is past the frozen state or it will become a solid block that can not be stirred -- it must remain slushy.
