Softer than most, this version of the flavored dessert ice is spooned rather than scraped into dishes; they should be well chilled. Ingredients:
1 orange |
1 lemon |
1 1/2 cups water |
1 1/2 cups sugar |
6 whole cloves |
2 whole star anise |
10 whole black peppercorns |
1 1/2 cups pinot noir |
2 cups assorted fresh berries |
Directions:
1. Using vegetable peeler, remove peel (orange part and yellow part only) from orange and lemon. Transfer peels to heavy medium saucepan. Squeeze enough juice from orange to measure 6 tablespoons. Squeeze enough juice from lemon to measure 1 tablespoon. Set juices aside.
2. Add 1 1/2 cups water, sugar, cloves, star anise and peppercorns to peels. Stir over medium-high heat until sugar dissolves. Simmer 3 minutes. Cool syrup completely.
3. Whisk wine and reserved juices into syrup. Strain into 8 x 8 x 2-inch glass dish. Cover; freeze 2 hours, stirring occasionally. Freeze until firm, 8 to 24 hours.
4. Spoon half of granita into dishes. Top with half of berries. Spoon remaining half of granita over berries; top with berries.
