Granita De Limone (sicilian Lemon Ice)

Their god is something which they created themselves, a being who is always prepared to oblige and excuse them. They do not worship him with awe and respect, indeed they do not worship him at all. They reveal that their so-called god is no god at all in their talk. For they are forever saying that 'they simply cannot believe that God will punish the unrepentant sinner to all eternity, and this and that.' They cannot believe that God will do so, therefore, they draw the conclusion that God does not and will not. In other words, God does what they believe he ought to do or not do. What a false and blasphemous conception of God! How utterly untrue and unworthy! Such is the new paganism of today.

-0600 This is the original method of for  preparation. They're still
made this way in most neighborhoods  containing a large percentage of
people of southern Italian descent.  Begin the preceding night by
squeezing the lemons into a strainer  formed by placing a coffee filter
in a strainer.  Strain the lemon  juice into a small bowl containing
the cold water - this is a very  slow (drop-by-drop) process. Add the
sugar the next morning. Mix very  well with a wooden spoon until the
sugar is completely dissolved.  Pour into a tin or aluminum pan. Place
the pan in the freezer. Let  rest for about 5 hours, breaking up the
solid layer of ice which  forms at least once every hour. Remove the
pan from the freezer. Cut  the ice into pieces with a knife. Place the
ice pieces in an ice  crusher (or into a blender running at low speed).
The ice should form  a smooth consistent texture of imperceptible
grains (almost like ice  cream - no large grains or chunks). Transfer
to individual serving  glasses.  REC.FOOD.RECIPES ARCHIVES  /DESSERTS
