Cool off on a hot summer day with this honey-sweet peach granita that’s a breeze to make and ready to freeze in just 10 minutes. Granita is an ancient Sicilian dessert that resembles modern day water ice. This one uses thawed peaches and fruit juice (or water) for ease and transforms with some hourly scraping into a flaky, crystalline delight.
