Cranberry Granita
Recipe courtesy Giada De Laurentiis
Ingredients
2 cups cranberry juice
1/3 cup sugar
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
1/4 cup vodka
6 fresh cranberries, for garnish
Instructions
Whisk the cranberry juice and sugar in a heavy medium saucepan over
medium heat just until the sugar dissolves. Pour the cranberry mixture into a 13 by 9 by 2-inch
glass baking dish. Cool completely. Whisk in the lime juice and vodka. Freeze until the granita
becomes slushy, about 2 hours. Using fork, stir to blend. Continue freezing the granita until
frozen, stirring every hour to form crystals, at least 5 hours or overnight.
Divide the granita among 6 dessert glasses. Garnish with fresh cranberries, if desired, and
serve.
