  Strawberry Granita

  If summer had a flavor, it would probably be the same taste as biting into a ripe berry. But thanks to frozen fruit available in your supermarket, you can enjoy the health benefits and summer-inspired taste of berries year-round. Whether you're using fresh or frozen fruit, these recipes are sure to please. 

  The mellowed acidity of aged balsamic vinegar pairs perfectly with the sugary sweetness of strawberries. For a special presentation, garnish with wild strawberries when available.
