BLOOD ORANGE GRANITA
Blood oranges have a very short season and a big batch of granita made in a jiffy can prolong their presence in your life for weeks after they are gone. This is a pure granita, concentrated and full of divine flavour from the combination of the slightly bitter and acidic blood oranges to the sweet after taste of star anise. A beautiful after dinner dessert or a pre-dinner palate cleanser.
