Living Rawesome Day #277 Watermelon Granite pg. 34 entertaining in the raw
April 26, 2010
My computer is messed up now:( I am on Christian’s computer, so I will make this entry quick.
I made watermelon granite for tomorrow’s potluck. This was simple to make but I didn’t have a chinois so I used the Vita-Mix. I know, I know, I didn’t do it the way I was supposed to but I still haven’t bought one, even after I said I would. So Jason gave me the idea to put it in the blender and then strain it thought the nut milk bag. It came out juicy, with about 2 cups of pulp. I was surprised, I expected it all pulp and liquid to come out, like cashew milk does. There was more fiber than I thought there was in watermelon.
Granite Ingredients
1 medium-size ripe watermelon
1/4 cup agave
Mash watermelon through a medium chinois. Add agave and freeze in a shallow pan. Allow the top to begin to freeze, about 2 hours, then lightly mash with a fork. Continue this every couple of hours until the mixture is frozen and flaky.
The watermelon was so sweet smelling.
Wish me luck tomorrow.
Goodnight!
