Blood Orange Granita

• 6 tablespoons sugar
• 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons water
• 2 1/4 cups freshly squeezed blood orange juice
• 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
• 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt

1. In a small saucepan, combine the sugar and water and whisk to blend.
2. Cook over medium-high heat just until the sugar dissolves.
3. Let cool slightly, then combine with the orange juice, lemon juice, and salt in a medium bowl.
4. Whisk all the ingredients together and pour into an 8- or 9-inch baking dish (or similar vessel).
5. Freeze uncovered until ice crystals start to form, about 1 hour.
6. Stir the mixture with a fork to break up the crystals.
7. Return the dish to the freezer and stir every 30 minutes until the mixture is icy throughout, 2 1/2 to 3 hours total.
8. At this point, you can transfer the granita to a resealable container and store in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.
9. Break up the mixture with a fork just before serving.
