FRESH LEMON GRANITA
2 cups sugar
2 cups water
1 1/2 cups fresh lemon juice (juice of about 6 lemons)
1 tablespoon grated lemon zest*
Combine sugar and water in a medium saucepan, and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to low, and simmer until sugar dissolves, about 3- 4 minutes. Cool completely**.
When cool, add lemon juice and zest; stir to combine. Pour into ice cube trays, and freeze until solid, about 8 hours.
Place 10 frozen cubes in blender jar. Place cover on blender jar. Turn blender on and press "Ice Crush" button 10 times or until ice is the consistency of snow. Continue crushing 10 cubes at a time until all are crushed. Turn blender off.
Spoon into well-chilled parfait cups and serve immediately.
*Zest is the colored part of the citrus rind. Do not use the white pith. For best results, remove zest from the lemon with a vegetable peeler.
**Place mixture in a covered container, and store in the refrigerator overnight, or chill over an ice bath for 30 minutes.
Makes 8 servings, 1/2 cup each
