Preparation

Step 1

Make 1 c simple syrup. Then bring that, 1/4 c apple juice, 1/4 c sparkling white wine to a boil. Then pour into a blender and add 1 c basil leaves and blend until smooth. Strain through fine mesh sieve into an 8 inch square metal pan. Freeze 3-4 hours, scraping mixture every 20 minutes. Cut off tops of strawberries and slice the bottom so they stand upright. Scoop out middle with melon baller. Fill with granita. I TRIED THIS ON 07/10 AND IT WAS VERY VERY GOOD. EVEN THE KIDS LOVED IT. EXTREMELY REFRESHING AND GOOD IN STRAWBERRIES OR PLAIN.
