Orange-Campari Granita with Fresh Nectarines

  • 3 Cups Strained Fresh Orange Juice
  • ½ Cup Campari
  • ½ Cup Sugar PLUS 2 Tbsp sugar
  • 3 Nectarines, halved, pitted and cut into 1/3 inch thick wedges.
  • Fresh Mint Sprigs

Stir OJ, Campari and ½ cup sugar in medium bowl until sugar dissolves. Transfer to a 13 x 9 x 2” glass baking dish.  Freeze until frozen, at least 6 hours or overnight.

Place 6 Martini Glasses in the freezer. Mix nectarines and remaining 2 Tbsp. sugar in a large bowl. Let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes, after that you can cover and refrigerate the nectarines for use when you serve the granita.

Using a fork, scrape surface of granita to form crystals.  Divide granita among frozen glasses.  Top with nectarine mixture. Garnish with mint and serve immediately.
