Pink grapefruit granita with caramelised citrus slices
SERVES 4-6
Perfect as a palate cleanser or at the end of an indulgent dinner, this granita is refreshing and zingy. For added richness, serve with chilled custard drizzled over the caramelised citrus.
1 Stir the grapefruit juice, elderflower liqueur, lemon juice and sugar together in a large measuring jug or bowl until the sugar has totally dissolved, then strain the mixture into a freezer-proof container. Put on the lid and place in the freezer for 2 hours.
2 Scrape the mixture with a fork to mix it up a little, then freeze again.
3 Repeat the scraping method two to three times, every 1-2 hours, until the granita has a light, snow-like consistency.
4 For the caramelised citrus, arrange the fruit slices on a baking tray or a heatproof platter.
Scatter evenly with the brown sugar and use a blowtorch for about 1-2 minutes to caramelise the surface of the fruit.
5 Spoon the granita into chilled glasses, add the citrus slices and serve immediately. If you wish, serve with a good sipping gin at room temperature and some chilled custard.
