Tangerines, in peak season during the holidays, make this granita (meaning “ice” in Italian) extra flavorful. You can also use orange juice—either way, use fresh juice for the best flavor.
Ingredients
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup light corn syrup
4 cups fresh tangerine juice
2 tablespoons grated tangerine rind
1/4 cup orange juice concentrate
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/8 teaspoon salt
Instructions
1. In a heavy saucepan, combine sugar, water and corn syrup. Bring to a boil; remove from heat immediately. Add tangerine juice, orange juice concentrate, lemon juice and salt. Stir well. Pour into an 8-cup plastic container.
2. Freeze 1 hour; remove from freezer and stir or scrape with a fork to create ice crystals; repeat 3 times. Serves 8.
