I bought plums. Perfectly ripe delicious red red plums. And left them in my hot hot car all day. When I got home I had a bag of juice and split open fruits. I decided to boil them in a simple syrup (just threw the whole plums in some water with some sugar. When it had boiled for a while, I steeped some mint leaves in the liquid for a few minutes. Then I strained it into a pie plate and froze it (doesn't freeze all the way because of the sugar). A few hours later I scraped it up with a fork and made this parfait like thing with cream between layers of granita (a copy of the coffee granita recipe I posted from the Zuni cafe cookbook earlier.) I'm very happy with the intensity of the plum flavor (and color) considering I strained all the plum out of the liquid. I bet this would work with just about anything. Broccoli granita, anyone?
(KIDDING...sheesh.)
