Blogwatch: Clementine Granita
A clementine granita sounds like the perfect second act to those heavy winter stews and meats I've been eating lately. Rebecca, of Ezra Pound Cake, has a refreshingly simple recipe. All you need are clementines, sugar, and rum. The rum is optional, but who doesn't like a little rum in their day? The granita is "packed with magical clementine flavor" and makes for a fabulous presentation served in the hollowed out clementines.

Very cool, I've always wanted to do this with blood oranges. In France these are called "oranges givrées", but instead of granita they are filled with a smooth sorbet. They were a staple of my childhood, thinking of them brings me back to summer vacations in Provence, when we would buy them at the supermarket and eat half of them on the drive back up to the house because we couldnt wait...

Wonderful idea...I was wondering what I was going to do with the box I got of clementines that just weren't quite sweet enough for my taste...I think the season is just about ending? Anyway, I'll definitely try this with them.

Where's summer time when you need it? You're making us crave July!

Darn it. I was just at the supermarket and was going to buy a box of clementines, but me, being dumb, decided not to.

You wouldn't believe me if I said this but *THIS* is something I made when I was a kid home alone! My parents wouldn't let me use the stove, so I wasn't allowed to "cook" a whole lot. Oh, how it reminds me of my childhood back in Taiwan! What we called "oranges" in Taiwan are actually clementines, and I would juice the crap out of them, pour the juice in to the blender with some ice and sugar and just eat spoonfuls of it, while enjoying my pseudo-kitchen prowess.
