To begin with this recipe, we have to first prepare a few components. You can cook cantaloupe granita using 5 ingredients and 4 steps. Here is how you cook it.

The ingredients needed to make Cantaloupe Granita:

1. Make ready 4 cups peeled and coarsely chopped cantaloupe (about 1 whole medium melon)
2. Get 1/2 cup sugar (or so, to taste)
3. Make ready 1 pinch kosher salt (up to 1/8 teaspoon)
4. Prepare 1-2 Tablespoons lemon or lime juice

This melon granita recipe combines the sweet flavors of honeydew and cantaloupe to create a refreshing fusion with some subtle differences. We've added just enough spice to the cantaloupe to deepen its natural flavors, and just enough lemon to the honeydew to fill out its already light and bright disposition. To make granita, you do nothing more than pour a fruity liquid into a pan, then place it in the freezer and use a spoon or fork to scrape the icy mixture as it freezes. It couldn't be simpler, and there are so many different varieties: just make a liquid out of any fruit, pour it in a pan, and freeze it.

Steps to make Cantaloupe Granita:

1. Puree all ingredients in a blender until smooth. I like to do this in 2 batches, halving the amounts for each batch, so I don't overcrowd the blender cup.
2. Pour mixture into a freezer safe 9 x 13 dish (baking dish or Pyrex work) and place in the freezer uncovered.
3. Stir the mixture every 30 minutes as the crystals form, for 3.5 to 4 hours, making sure to scrape down the sides and mix that portion in as well. When the granita is completely crystallized (there is no mixture pooling on the sides uncrystallized), it is ready to serve. You don't want to keep stirring at this point because you might break the crystals down too fine and create blocks. You can keep the granita in the freezer in this state for up to 2 hours before serving.
4. Spoon into your serving dish, garnish as desired, and enjoy! :)
