Strawberry Granita Cook Time: 5 minutes Servings: 4 Ingredients - 2 cups sliced strawberries - 1/3 cup sugar - 1/3 cup water - 1 pinch salt - 1 tablespoon lemon juice - 1 or 2 drops almond extract (optional)    This simple dessert perfectly preserves the flavor of fresh strawberries, and although it requires several hours freezing time, it takes only a few minutes of actual work.   Directions Put all ingredients into food processor and purée. Pour purée into a shallow freezable container (to get as much surface area as possible), cover, and freeze until firm. Time	1

	will depend on thickness of purée layer and freezer temperature (from 2-4 hours). Leave in the freezer until ready to serve. When ready to serve, remove purée and let stand at room temperature a few minutes, until it can be easily cut or broken into large chunks. Put about 1/3 of the frozen purée at a time into food processor. Using short pulses, process until purée is in very small bits, but not slushy. Serve immediately.	2
