Pink Grapefruit, Sparkling Wine, and Basil Granita
Serves 4-6
Ingredients
100g sugar
300ml caster sugar
250ml pink grapefruit juice
250ml sparkling pink wine
2 tbsp Three Fruit Marmalade
a few basil leaves and extra to garnish
Recipe
Combine the Three Fruit Marmalade, sugar, and water in a saucepan with a few fresh basil leaves. Bring up to heat to allow the sugar to dissolve and simmer for a few minutes. Remove the basil leaves and set them aside to cool.
Once cool, pour into a shallow container along with the grapefruit juice and sparkling wine.
Place the dish on a flat surface in the freezer. Freeze for 1.5 hours, then scrape the granita with a fork and place it back in the freezer. Repeat this process a couple of times, bringing the ice in towards the center of the dish, until it has a granular texture. Serve with a sprig of basil to garnish.
