Steps:
- Peel, halve, and seed melons; cut into chunks and place in medium-sized bowl, reserving ½ cup of the melon chunks in another small container.
- To the reserved ½ cup of melon, add 2 tablespoons of the lemon juice; toss to coat; cover and refrigerate.
- To remaining larger bowl of melon, add sugar, remaining lemon juice, lemon zest, allspice, pepper (if using) and nutmeg; toss to mix; cover and marinate melon in refrigerator for 2-12 hours.
- Strain juices from larger bowl of melon chunks into a small saucepan; bring to a boil over high heat and cook 1 minute; remove from heat and cool to room temperature.
- Combine marinated melon chunks and reduced juices in a food processor or blender; puree until smooth; pour into a bowl, cover, and chill for 2 hours.
- Pour pureed and chilled mixture into ice cream freezer and freeze according to manufacturer's directions; serve topped with reserved diced melon and fresh mint sprigs.
- NOTE: The name "granita" comes from a Spanish word meaning small grain or, by association, granular texture.

- In a blender or food processor, puree the the melon with the orange juice, sugar and Midori. Taste the mixture. Depending on the flavor and sweetness of the melon you can add sugar, lemon juice or Midori as needed to perk up the flavor.
- Pour the mixture into an 13"x9" baking dish (preferably metal for quicker freezing). Set the dish in the freezer. After 30 minutes, remove the pan from the freezer and use a fork to scrape through the mix and break up the ice that has formed into smaller pieces. Return the pan to the freezer.
- Repeat the procedure every 30 minutes for 3 hours until the granita is completely frozen with a granular texture similar to a snow cone or shaved ice.
