Sangria Granita
3 cups medium bodied red wine
3 cups Chardonnay
1-1/2 cup sugar
2 whole oranges, sliced
1 whole lemon, sliced
1 whole lime, sliced
1 tablespoon orange zest
1 tablespoon lime zest
1 tablespoon lemon zest
Additional fruit and zest for garnish (optional)
Combine both wines with sugar in a large saucepan. Over medium heat, stir just until sugar is dissolved, about 7 minutes. Remove from heat and add sliced fruit. Allow to cool to room temperature. Strain fruit slices and add zest, chill in the refrigerator until cold.
In a 9 x 13 inch pan (or a pan large enough to fit in your freezer shelf) freeze mixture. When almost frozen, scrape with a fork to break up the ice. Re-freeze for another 1 1/2 to 2 hours, scrape again with a fork and return to freezer. When frozen, serve or transfer to a plastic container for later. If using later, allow to melt slightly then scrape again with fork and serve. Garnish with fresh fruit slices and zest, if desired.
