Granita Of Tangerine Recipes

Steps:

• Granita:
• Pour the water, tangerine juice, and lemon juice into a saucepan and place over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil, add the honey and sugar, and stir until dissolved. Pour the mixture into a shallow metal pan and let cool to room temperature. Place in the freezer and stir every 30 minutes for 2 to 3 hours. You'll want the granita to be firm but not rock hard.
• Syrup:
• Place the cherries in the bowl of a food processor and process until smooth. Put all the ingredients into a saucepan and place over high heat. Let it come to a boil, reduce the heat, and simmer for 10 minutes. Pour into a heatproof pitcher and let cool to room temperature.
• Assembly:
• Divide the granita among 4 martini glasses, top with fresh raspberries, and drizzle the whole thing with the syrup.

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients in a stainless steel mixing bowl. Adjust sugar and liquor, to taste. Pour liquid into large shallow stainless steel pan and place in freezer. When the top of the liquid forms an icy layer, scrape through entire pan with a fork. Return to freezer and let another frozen layer form; scrape again with fork. Repeat freezing and scraping steps until all liquid is frozen. Fluff with a fork to create soft, snowy granita. Serve in a glass over vanilla bean ice cream with homemade cookies.
