Watermelon, Honeydew, and Cantaloupe Granitas

• 1/4 c. granulated sugar
• 1/4 c. water
• 1/4 tsp. kosher salt
• 1/2 c. fresh basil, mint, or tarragon
• 2 lb. watermelon, honeydew, or cantaloupe

1. In a small saucepan, combine the sugar, 1/4 cup water (use an extra 1/4 cup water for honeydew and cantaloupe) and salt and bring to a boil.
2. Reduce heat and simmer (do not stir) until the sugar dissolves, 2 to 3 minutes.
3. Remove from heat, add the herbs, and let cool completely, then strain into a small bowl.
4. In a blender, puree the cooled syrup and 5 cups melon until smooth.
5. Strain into a metal loaf or square pan, cover, and freeze until set, about 3 hours.
6. When ready to serve, using a fork, scrape the surface of the melon ice to create large flakes.
7. Transfer to glasses and serve with additional fruit, if desired.
