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!

This wasn't noted in the recipe, but on her show, she mentioned that each hour, you need to shave the mixture with a fork to prevent it from freezing into one big chunk. VERY important. I don't know how that got looked over. But it's getting a five star rating, because the taste is great!!!!!

I couldn't get it to come out right. I think this is because I don't have a Jello brand baking dish.

but the extract added funny flavor. Chipped off chunks with an ice pick to serve, as a fork was out of the question.

Impossible to fork this to a shaved ice consistency. It's frozen solid and has pineapple chunks in it. Either smash it into pieces or make a real granita by stirring it with a fork every 1/2 hour as it freeses so it will have the consistency of soft shaved ice.
