Blood Orange Granita - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 1/2 cups blood orange juice
3/4 cup sugar

Preparation

Heat 1/2 cup of orange juice in a pan. Add the sugar and simmer until the sugar has dissolved. Remove from the heat and add the remaining juice. Pour into a freezer-proof container and allow to cool. Freeze for 12 hrs or until very firm.
Turn out the frozen mixture onto a chopping board. Using a sharp knife, chop roughly to break up the granita. Spoon into 4 chilled serving glasses. Serve immediately.
