Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cup orange juice
3/4 cup water
1/2 cup honey
1/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon grated orange peel
1 16-ounce package fresh strawberries, hulled, quartered (about 3 1/2 cups)
2 1/2-pint baskets fresh raspberries

Steps:

Combine orange juice, 3/4 cup water, honey, sugar, and orange peel in blender. Add half of strawberries and half of raspberries; puree until almost smooth. Add remaining berries; puree until smooth. Pour mixture out onto 13x9x2-inch baking pan. Freeze until edges are icy and center is slushy, about 1 hour 30 minutes. Stir icy edges into slushy center. Freeze granita until solid, stirring every 45 minutes, about 3 1/2 hours longer.
Using fork, scrape granita down length of pan, forming icy flakes. Cover and freeze at least 1 hour and up to 2 days. Spoon granita into glasses.
