Watermelon granita

Our wonderful friends Bondrew came over tonight for dinner, to catch up and check in. On the menu - a bounty of vegetables from their community garden, steaks, and tapioca pudding. From our side, I tried making a 5-minute berry cobbler (eek, not good - flipped a wheat pie crust on top of berries/sugar/butter) and a watermelon granita. I'll provide the watermelon granita recipe here for the fact that it succeeded and it was super easy. This made an excellent palate cleanser.

Watermelon Granita
- watermelon (4 parts)
- triple sec or cointreau (1 part)

1. Puree watermelon in blender.
2. Add cointreau to watermelon, and blend with 2 short pulses.
3. Pour into large flat pan (enough to allow watermelon mixture to attain 1" depth).
4. Freeze for 4 hours, with a fork scraping 2 hours into freezing time.
5. Serve.
