This blood orange granita will go with any fruit, but is particularly fine with strawberries.

Ingredients

6 blood oranges, juiced (about 400ml)
1 lime, juiced, strained
1 small knob of ginger (about 20g), peeled, grated and squeezed to extract juice
4 tbsp castor sugar
250g strawberries, halved

Method

1. Whisk the blood orange, lime and ginger juices together with the sugar until the sugar dissolves.
2. Pour the mixture into a shallow metal tray and freeze until firm (about 3 hours).
3. Remove the tray from freezer and break with a fork to form the granita. Serve immediately, or refreeze until ready to eat. Serve with the halved strawberries.
