Raspberry, Strawberry, and Orange Granita Recipe

  • 1 cup orange juice
  • 3/4 cup water
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon grated orange peel
  • 1 16-ounce package fresh strawberries, hulled, quartered (about 3 1/2 cups)
  • 2 1/2-pint baskets fresh raspberries
  1. Combine orange juice, 3/4 cup water, honey, sugar, and orange peel in blender. Add half of strawberries and half of raspberries; puree until almost smooth. Add remaining berries; puree until smooth. Pour mixture out onto 13x9x2-inch baking pan. Freeze until edges are icy and center is slushy, about 1 hour 30 minutes. Stir icy edges into slushy center. Freeze granita until solid, stirring every 45 minutes, about 3 1/2 hours longer.
  2. Using fork, scrape granita down length of pan, forming icy flakes. Cover and freeze at least 1 hour and up to 2 days. Spoon granita into glasses.
