1 cup fresh or frozen pineapple chunks
½ cup fresh or frozen mango chunks
2 cups orange juice
Juice of 1 lime
Fresh mint, for garnish
1 In a blender, combine the pineapple, mango, orange juice, and lime juice. Process until smooth, and transfer to a freezer-safe dish. Freeze for 2 hours.
2 Use a fork to break the mixture apart into smaller granular pieces. Serve garnished with pieces of torn mint leaves.
Cooking tip: If you freeze the granita too long, it will become solid. Let it sit out for about 20 minutes until it is breakable, and separate it into a few chunks, then pulse in a blender until its consistency resembles shaved ice.
