Cool off with a grapefruit granita, a frozen treat sweetened with sugar and accented with mint for a refreshing dessert.

Ingredients

2 cups Florida Pink Grapefruit Juice
1/4 cup sugar
4 mint leaves
4 fresh Florida Pink Grapefruit slices

Preparation

1. In a saucepan, combine grapefruit juice and sugar. Bruise mint leaves between fingers and add to saucepan. Bring mixture to just boiling, stirring to dissolve sugar. Remove from heat, cover and let stand 5 minutes. Remove mint leaves.

2. Pour grapefruit mixture into ice cube trays; freeze. Just before serving, place a single layer of frozen cubes in food processor fitted with steel blade.
