I was originally intending to share this recipe with you, except the feta frozen yogurt turned out tasting like stale socks. No, doesn\u2019t sound enticing? I don\u2019t think so either.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What redeemed the recipe for me was this granita, which is meant to accompany the froyo kind of like a sidekick. An outrageous and daring one. That ended up stealing the show. First to enter the stage is the bright punch of blood orange, vibrant and vivacious, a vixen if you will. In typical two-step fashion, the mint comes later and imparts its cooling aftertaste reminiscent of my favorite beverage: the mojito.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m happy I have something to show for my efforts. And is it something! My magpie tendencies kicked into high gear after I\u2019d crunched it up with a fork. All I wanted to do was bottle it up and hold it captive to the light. But, looks aren\u2019t everything, and in this case, this granita functions perfectly as a guilt-free dessert. I mean, it\u2019s basically a deconstructed sno-cone minus the artificial flavoring and more gorgeously-flavored.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Granitas are so simple to make! More clean-up than preparation, you basically juice and zest the heck out of blood oranges (I believe the proper term is \u2018pulverize\u2019 haha), toss a handful of mint in, and blend. Run the sludgy liquid through a sieve, freeze the remains, and ta-da! The granita is born.<\/p>\n\n\n

BLOOD ORANGE AND MINT GRANITA<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

From Food52
Makes enough for roughly 4 people<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ingredients:<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

4 juicy, ripe blood oranges
big handful of mint leaves
lemon juice, if necessary<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Directions:<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cut the blood oranges in half and run a knife around the inside rim. Gut them with a spoon over a bowl to catch all the juice, and put the guts into the bowl. (Don\u2019t worry if a bit of rind goes in, as we just want as much pulp and juice as possible.) Zest the orange peels into the bowl. Throw in a handful of mint and immersion blend or food process the mixture til it is quite pulpy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Strain through a strainer. Pour a thin layer of the liquid into a freezer safe baking dish. Freeze for 2 to 3 hours. When mine was completely frozen, I set the dish on the counter for awhile to let it melt a bit. Then, using a fork, tines facing up, push down into the granita like you\u2019re mashing it. It should give pretty easily if it\u2019s melted enough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alternative, you can check on your granita every now and then, raking it with a fork every time it looks like the liquid is freezing. After a couple hours, the granita should be frozen but flaky.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
