Orange Granita in Orange Cups
- 2 12 cups fresh squeezed orange juice, reserve the orange rinds
- 13 cup superfine sugar, for the granita
- 2 tablespoons superfine sugar, for serving
- 2 tablespoons honey
- Place orange juice, honey, and 1/3 cup superfine sugar into a saucepan.
- Bring to a boil and simmer 10 minutes.
- In the meantime, use left over oranges as the serving cups.
- Slice the bottom slightly to allow it to stand up in the freezer.
- Dip the rim of each orange slice in the additional 2TBS of sugar, as if you are rimming a cocktail glass.
- Place Orange Cups in the freezer.
- Pour hot orange juice mixture into a shallow dish and freeze.
- Check every hour, and scrape with a fork -- my son's favorite job!
- After about 4 hours, it will be ready to scoop into the orange cups to serve.
- The granita can also be served adult-style with a little vodka in a martini glass and a sprig of fresh mint.
