Steps:
- In a blender, blend the lime juice and watermelon together, creating watermelon water. Strain the liquid through a fine mesh strainer to remove any seeds. Place 1/2 cup of the watermelon water into a saucepan and add the sugar, lime zest and ginger coins. Bring the mixture to a simmer to dissolve the sugar and infuse the liquid with the ginger and lime flavor. Set aside to cool. Add the grated ginger to the remaining watermelon water. Once the syrup is cool, remove the ginger coins and mix into the watermelon water. Pour the mixture into a 9 by 13-inch glass baking dish. Place the dish into the freezer to chill. Every 30 minutes, scrape the mixture with a fork to break up the ice crystals and to keep it light and fluffy. Continue scraping every 30 minutes for at least 2 hours. Scrape the granita into elegant glasses and sprinkle with fleur de sel.

BASIL AND LIME GRANITA
This is a lovely fresh granita that couldn't be easier to prepare. We like to add a couple of shots of vodka to it just before freezing, to make a more grown up version. Perfect for after a barbecue! Timing does not include 3 hours freezing time.

COCONUT-LIME GRANITA
Steps:
- Place an 8-inch square baking dish in the freezer to chill while you make the simple syrup.
- Combine the sugar and 1/2 cup of water in a small saucepan over low heat until the sugar is dissolved and syrup is at a gentle boil. Remove it from the heat, and allow it to cool..
- Pull the chilled baking dish out of the freezer, and pour the coconut milk into the dish. You may need to whisk it to smooth out any lumps.
- Whisk in the simple syrup, lime zest, lime juice and fresh coconut until well combined. Place the dish in the freezer, and let it chill for 1 hour.
- Pull it out of the freezer, and using a fork, break up the ice crystals forming around the edge of the dish, by dragging them into the more molten center. Return to the freezer and repeat this process every hour or so, smoothing out the granita before you return it to the freezer. The whole process should take about 3 hours. When you're ready to serve, allow the granita to sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes so that it softens. Spoon the mixture into a small bowl or glass, and top with a little coarse sea salt.

Steps:

Combine the watermelon puree, lime juice, mint and sugar in a 9 by 13-inch metal pan.

Scrape 1 last time and spoon into parfait glasses or bowls. Top with a mint sprig.
STRAWBERRY LIME GRANITA
A granita is similar to a sorbet since it is a mixture of fruit puree and simple syrup that is frozen to develop ice crystals which are broken up with a fork. You can process the mixture in an ice cream maker for a smoother texture and you'll have a sorbet. The simple syrup can be made up to a week in advance, but must be made the night before.

Steps:
- Make a simple syrup the night before, or up to a week ahead of time.
- In a small saucepan, bring the water to a boil over medium high heat; add the sugar and stir to dissolve, about 30 seconds.
- Reduce heat to low and cook another 5 minutes until the mixture is slightly thickened.
- Remove from heat; let cool to room temperature, then refrigerate overnight.
- About 3 to 4 hours before you will serve the granita, chill a 13x9 inch metal baking pan in the freezer.
- Combine the strawberries and lime juice in a blender; puree on high speed.
- Reduce speed to low setting and add the simple syrup.
- Blend for a few seconds just to incorporate.
- Take the chilled pan from the freezer and pour in the fruit mixture; return to freezer, uncovered.
- After an hour, the mixture should have just begun to set in the middle.
- Using a fork, break up the crystals and swirl around until you have a wide pile of mush in the center of the pan.
- Freeze for two more hours, breaking up the crystals once or twice.
- To serve: remove pan from freezer and let stand several minutes, if frozen solid.
- Use a fork to break up mixture, then scoop, with a spoon, large mounds into serving dishes or martini glasses.

MELON WITH BASIL-LIME GRANITA
After such a substantial meal, you'll want to keep things light for dessert. A little fancier than a fruit salad yet almost as easy, this cool combination of musky cantaloupe and honeydew gets an unexpected fillip from icy granita. Dont worry if the granita melts faster than you expect-it will slump into a lovely sauce over the fruit.
