Categories     dessert

Time 3h15m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 cup sugar
2 cups freshly squeezed pink grapefruit juice (3 to 4 large grapefruits)
2 cups dry rose Champagne
1/8 teaspoon fleur de sel

Steps:

  • Combine the sugar with 1 cup water in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil and simmer for 2 minutes, until the sugar dissolves. Pour into a 9 x 13 x 2-inch rectangular (non-metal) baking dish. Stir in the grapefruit juice, Champagne, and fleur de sel.
  • Carefully place the dish on a level surface in the freezer. Freeze for one hour, rake the granita with a large dinner fork, and return it to the freezer. Continue to rake the granita every 30 minutes, until it's firm and granular. This might take as long as 3 hours. Serve frozen in pretty bowls or stemmed glasses.

GRAPEFRUIT GRANITA



Grapefruit Granita image

This is probably the easiest dessert in my whole repertoire but it may also be one of the most perfect. It's bright, clean and refreshing flavor is a welcome ending to any meal. When I serve it in a small wide-mouthed glass and top it with a little sprig of mint, it looks really beautiful. You can make this a couple of days in advance but then you'll want to cover it well with saran wrap so it doesn't absorb any freezer flavor.

PINK GRAPEFRUIT GRANITA RECIPE

Lime and mint are perfect accents to pink grapefruit granita. Get the easy recipe and find inspiration for making any flavor of granita you desire.

Provided by Colleen Graham

Categories     Dessert     Snack

Time 4h15m

Number Of Ingredients 9

For the Simple Syrup:
1 cup water
1 cup granulated sugar
1/8 cup loosely packed fresh mint leaves (about 3 sprigs)
1/2 tablespoon fresh lime zest, from 1 medium lime
For the Granita:
4 to 5 large pink or ruby red grapefruit
1/2 cup chilled water, optional
Fresh mint sprigs, for garnish

Steps:

  • Gather the ingredients.
  • In a medium saucepan over medium heat, bring the water to a boil. Add the sugar and stir until dissolved. Reduce the heat to low, add the mint leaves and lime zest, and simmer for 5 minutes.
  • Remove from the heat, cover, and allow the syrup to steep and cool, 20 to 30 minutes.
  • Strain the syrup into a small bowl using a fine-mesh sieve. Discard the mint and lime. Set aside.
  • Gather the ingredients.
  • Juice enough grapefruit to produce 2 cups of juice. You can leave any pulp or strain it out if you prefer.
  • Pour the grapefruit juice into a medium bowl, add 3/4 cup of the mint-lime syrup. Stir well, taste, and add more syrup to make it sweeter, if desired. If you'd like a milder flavor, stir in 1/4 cup of water, taste again, and add more if needed. This is your opportunity to perfect the granita's flavor, but make the liquid a little bold because it mellows a bit in the freezer.
  • Transfer the mixture to an 8- or 9-inch square metal baking pan, cover with plastic wrap, and freeze for 1 hour.
  • Use a fork to scrape the frozen parts of the granita and mix it with portions that are still liquid. Repeat this process every hour until the granita is completely frozen. This may take 4 to 5 hours, or longer. The granita should have a flaky snow-like ice texture.
  • When ready to serve, fork the granita one last time to make it fluffy, then spoon it into frozen dessert cups, small bowls, or stemware. Garnish with sprigs of fresh mint and serve immediately.

PINK GRAPEFRUIT GRANITA



Pink Grapefruit Granita image

I know people who are grapefruit dependent. They're addicted to starting their day with half a pink grapefruit. They absolutely have to have one, and frankly, that's a little odd to me. It's not that I don't like grapefruits, and I often buy them with the intention of following in the healthy footsteps of my grapefruit-dependent friends. But the next morning I wake up and honestly can't seem to face anything but a much-needed, soothing pot of coffee and a couple of nonconfrontational slices of buttered toast. Later in the day, those pink grapefruits become more and more appealing though, and I'll slice one in half and greedily attack the sections, slurping up the plentiful juice while perched over the sink to contain the mess from my assault. So perhaps I do have some grapefruit issues of my own, but I wait until later in the day before I succumb and take my tumble off the citrus wagon.

Yield makes about 1 quart (1 liter)

Number Of Ingredients 2

4 cups (1 liter) freshly squeezed pink grapefruit juice (from about 4 or 5 grapefruits)
3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons (180 g) sugar

Steps:

  • In a small, nonreactive saucepan, warm 1/2 cup (125 ml) of the grapefruit juice with the sugar, stirring until the sugar is dissolved. Stir the syrup back into the grapefruit juice, then freeze according to the instructions for freezing granita on page 145.
  • Serve Pink Grapefruit Granita in tall Champagne flutes with a rather dry Champagne or sparkling wine poured over the top, along with a few fresh raspberries or wild strawberries.

Stir in grapefruit juice and Campari and freeze in a shallow metal pan, stirring and crushing lumps with a fork every 30 minutes, 3 to 4 hours, or until mixture is firm but not frozen. Scrape granita with a fork to lighten texture. Serve granita in chilled goblets and garnish with zest.
