Being the middle of winter and getting some of the coldest nights we have had so far at the moment (4 degrees, which might not be cold to some but it is in Perth!), an icy granita might seem like a strange dessert to make. But we have got a 5 year old blood orange tree in our back garden, and this year it has an abundance of fruit! The oranges are starting to fall off, so rather than waste them we decided to pick some off yesterday. We got a huge bagful, and there are still so many left on there!
So, needing to find something to do with all these oranges, I decided to give the Blood Orange Granita a go. They are pretty juicy oranges, although the redness hasn't developed as much as it should, so the end product isn't as red as the Donna Hay version. It did taste lovely fantastic though - very zingy, and I am definitely planning on doing it again! And will also be trying it with other citrus fruits, and any other suitable flavours. Roll on summer!
