Very Tasty! My children and I love this recipe. On the show she did say to use the fork every hour to scrape and keep it in a shaved ice form, and it does work. I could not find the papaya in my town so we use guava or some other fruity flavored juice (usually in the mexican section of the grocery store. It is still just as yummy.

Have not tried this but just read the reviews to see how it went over with everyone at home. In the show she did say to STIR THIS EVERY HOUR WITH A FORK SO THAT IT DOES NOT FREEZE SOLID. I can see how that would be an awful outcome if it wasn't noted in the recipe.
Seems easy enough. Will put in my book for next summer!
I gave it 5 stars because it does SOUND great.

I keep a tupperware of this tucked in the freezer and then use it in my morning smoothie. A chunk of the granita, a peach yogurt, a banana, some honey... PERFECT! Thanks, Sandra Lee!
