15 15

Ingredients

  • 3 cups water
  • 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 cup diced fresh or frozen rhubarb, thawed
  • 1/2 cup halved fresh strawberries
  • 2 tablespoons orange liqueur or orange juice
  • Fresh mint leaves and orange peel strips, optional

Directions

  • In a large saucepan, bring the water, sugar, rhubarb and strawberries to a boil. Cook and stir until sugar is dissolved. Strain; discard pulp and seeds.
  • Transfer syrup to an 8-in. square dish. Stir in orange liqueur; cool to room temperature. Freeze for 1 hour; stir with a fork. Freeze 2-3 hours longer or until completely frozen, stirring every 30 minutes. Stir granita with a fork just before serving; spoon into dessert dishes. Garnish with mint and orange peel if desired. Yield: 8 servings.

Editor's Note: If using frozen rhubarb, measure rhubarb while still frozen, then thaw completely. Drain in a colander, but do not press liquid out.
