14:25:17 GMT Although the flavors differ, rum  can be used in place of
vodka for the mixed berry granita.  Vodka Berries: Rinse berries and
drain well.  Layer strawberries and  raspberries in a 2-quart glass
jar.  Top with orange slices and  blackberries. Pour vodka over berries
until fruit is covered, then  cover the jar.  Save the empty vodka
bottle. Let berries macerate in  vodka for three to six days. Strain
the berries from the vodka, then  pour vodka back into the saved
bottle.  For the granita: Puree berries and strain through a fine mesh
strainer. Pour strained berry juice into large measuring cup.  Measure
the juice, then add an equal amount of water. Pour into bowl.  Whisk in
sugar to taste, at least 1+1/4 cup, and stir until  dissolved. Pour
into a baking pan measuring 9 by 13 by 2 inches and  place in freezer
until ice crystals form, about 30 minutes. Use a  fork to break up
frozen crystals. Continue freezing and stirring  every 30 to 45 minutes
until mixture is completely frozen and ice  crystals are uniform in
size. Scoop crystals into goblet and garnish  with mint or extra
berries. Serve immediately. Serves 4 to 6.  REC.FOOD.RECIPES ARCHIVES
