Granita doesn't have to be sweet and we're here to prove it with this Tomato Basil Granita, made with fresh basil, garlic, and our aged red wine vinegar. Give it a try!

2 lbs tomatoes, chopped and strained

1 tbsp sugar

3 cups water

1 garlic clove, minced

1 tsp ground pepper

1 tbsp Colavita Aged Red Wine VInegar

1 bunch basil, cut into ribbons

Mix all the ingredients in a large bowl.

Pour the mixture into a metal cake or sheet pan and freeze.

Scrape with a fork starting after freezing for 30 minutes, and every 10 minutes after that (for a total of 2 hours) to break up the sugar crystals.

Serve in small bowls with extra chopped, fresh basil.
