Report
Chef Louise Mellor shares a recipe for Tomato Frost, a savory granita, from The Best in Cookery in the Middle West by Grace Grosvenor Clark, 1955

Ingredients
- 5 cups tomato juice (fresh or canned)
- 1 bunch celery leaves (top bouquet of the celery)
- 2 teaspoons onion finely chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon lemon rind grated
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- Dash black pepper freshly ground
- 1/2 teaspoon curry powder
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise or bottled salad dressing
Instructions
- Heat 2 1/2 cups of tomato juice with a bouquet of celery tops, the chopped onion, salt, lemon juice and grated rind, sugar, pepper, and the curry powder, which has been mixed with a little of the hot tomato juice.
- Remove from the stove and fold in the mayonnaise or salad dressing. Remove the celery tops, then whip the remaining 2 1/2 cups of tomato juice into the mixture. Adjust the seasoning to taste.
- Pour into a baking pan or baking dish. Freeze at once.
- Once frozen it will be very icy; instead of serving it in chunks, scrape it out of the container so that you eat pink fluffy tomato frost looking like pink snow. It's really delightful.
- Serve with cheese bits and be sure to top with a sprig or sprinkle of parsley.
Notes
- THK Note: Chef Louise recommends halving this recipe, unless you are serving a very large crowd. Half the recipe will easily serve 8-10 appetizer portions.
