Valentine Granita
A granita is sort of like sorbet (but icier)...sort of like a refined snow-cone. This one, with mango and raspberries, is a dazzling ruby red. Cook time is freeze time. From better homes and gardens february 2002.
Steps
In a medium saucepan over medium heat dissolve the sugar in the water.
Remove from heat and add frozen raspberries and the mango chunks.
Pour into a blender or food processor and blend until smooth.
Strain through a fine mesh sieve.
You should have about 2 cups fruit mixture.
Pour mixture into a 13x9x2 baking dish and freeze for 1-2 hours until mixture is slushy and nearly frozen.
Stir well , being sure to scrape the sides of the pan.
Spread mixture to evenly cover the bottom of pan or container and freeze 8 hours or overnight.
To serve , let stand at room temperature for 5-10 minutes.
Scoop into dishes and garnish with fresh raspberries , if desired.
