Cranberry Orange Granita $1.00


Thumbing thru my many Giada cookbooks, I am very pleasantly surprised by how many basic easy recipes she has in her books and how many of her recipes I can make with ingredients from a convenience store. I found this Granita and although it called for lime, sugar and vodka, I just made some changes. I prefer to use honey when I can instead of sugar, and who needs the vodka. Orange juice and Cranberry juice are both loaded with vitamin C which provides antioxidents and antioxidents are known to kill off free radicals(bad cells) This is a quick and easy dessert that can be made with many different juice combinations.
serves 2
1 cup cranberry juice .40
1 cup orange juice .30
1/3 cup honey .30

in a saucepan on medium heat, heat cranberry and orange juice with sugar
remove from heat as soon as sugar is completely disolved
pour into a glass bowl and freeze, mixing it up every few hours
after 4 hours it is ready to eat!
