Blood Orange Mint Granita




















Hello there! It's me, Anna! I'm still here, I swear! I've just been slaving away finishing my masters, having a recital and managing my own little blog while Lexi has been whipping up some fantastic creations! Isn't she a peach?

But we were finally able to do a little hanging out the other night when the husbands were off in some other far away land. We really can't keep track of where they are these days. Pretty sure they've been gone for about one million weekends. Hopefully we'll get them back soon.... or ELSE.

Back to this post. We're obsessed with blood oranges. I think you might have caught wind of that. We talk about them every time we're together, we dream about them and we might even think of naming our babies after them. Jokes. But this little dessert is inspired by the sacred fruit and would be the perfect ending to any meal. It has a light, refreshing taste and makes the most darlin' little picture. Yeah, we know they're not in season. We don't care. Blood oranges all year round!!!

Blood Orange Granita with Mint and a Splash of Agave

3 blood oranges, juiced
1 lemon, juiced
2 tbs mint, chiffonned
1 tbs agave


Combine all ingredients in a medium sized bowl. Whisk together. Pour into a 9x13 dish and place in the freezer. If desired, scrape with a fork every thirty minutes OR wait six hours, then scrape into fluffy mounds of goodness.
