INGREDIENTS

3 cups Orange Tangerine Flavor Juicy Juice® 100% juice

INSTRUCTIONS

1. COMBINE Orange Tangerine Flavor Juicy Juice® 100% juice and sugar in small saucepan. Bring to a boil; remove from heat. Cool slightly.
2. PLACE mangoes and juice mixture in food processor or blender; process until smooth. Force through a sieve into a shallow baking pan (discard solids). Freeze for 3 to 4 hours, stirring and crushing lumps with a fork every hour. Granita can be made 2 days ahead and frozen, covered. Just before serving, scrape surface of granita with a fork to lighten texture (texture should look like crystals).
3. SCOOP granita into serving bowls. Garnish with sliced mango, pomegranate seeds and grated lime peel, if desired.
