CRANBERRY GRANITA
The arrival of cranberries in the fall magically coincides with the holiday food shopping frenzy. A wonder of nature? Or just good timing? Regardless, I'm happy whenever I find cranberries in abundance. Their flavor is invigorating and restorative, which is probably why they're so popular around the time of year when many of us could use help after overindulging in copious holiday feasts.

Steps:
- Combine 4 cups cranberries and next 4 ingredients in heavy large saucepan. Bring to boil, stirring until sugar dissolves. Remove from heat, cover, and let steep 30 minutes. Working in batches, puree mixture in processor. Strain puree into large bowl, pressing to extract as much liquid as possible.
- Pour strained puree into 15x10x2-inch dish. Freeze 45 minutes. Using fork, stir to blend in any frozen portions. Freeze until granita has uniform slushy consistency, stirring every 45 minutes to incorporate frozen portions, about 5 hours. Cover and keep frozen up to 1 day.
- Using fork tines, scrape granita, forming icy flakes. Spoon into goblets. Garnish with cranberries and mint sprigs.
Tips:
- Use fresh cranberries for the best flavor. Frozen cranberries can also be used, but they will not have as much flavor.
- If you don't have a food processor, you can chop the cranberries by hand. Just be sure to chop them finely so that they will dissolve easily in the sugar syrup.
- The granita can be made ahead of time and frozen for up to 2 weeks. When you're ready to serve, simply thaw it in the refrigerator for a few hours or overnight.
- For a more flavorful granita, use a combination of orange juice and cranberry juice. You can also add a splash of Grand Marnier or Cointreau.
- Serve the granita with orange whipped cream and a sprinkle of fresh cranberries.
Conclusion:
Cranberry granita with orange whipped cream is a refreshing and delicious dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make and can be made ahead of time, making it a great option for busy hosts. The combination of tart cranberries and sweet oranges is sure to please everyone at your table.
