Rose Petal Granita
The method is simple, but the outcome is extraordinary. Look for rose water in markets that sell Indian or Middle Eastern ingredients.

Ingredients
2 cups organic rose petals, rinsed and crushed
4 cups water
1½ cup sugar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
¼ cup rose water
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
Method
1. Combine all ingredients in a large saucepan and bring to a boil briefly. Remove from heat, and set aside to steep and cool completely.
2. Strain into a shallow baking dish. If the mixture does not look rosy enough for you, add 1 drop of red food coloring. Place in the freezer.
3. Use a fork to mix up ice crystals every 10 minutes until the entire pan is frozen and slushy, about 2 hours. Serve over fresh berries with a dollop of cream. Be sure to use chilled glasses so it doesn't melt too soon.
