Method
Preparation Steps
- 1
Juice the Blood Oranges
Cut the blood oranges in half and juice them using a citrus juicer or by hand to make about 2 cups of blood orange juice.
- 2
Prepare Jalapeño Syrup
In a small saucepan, combine the granulated sugar, water, and chopped jalapeño pepper. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring until the sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat and let it steep for 15 minutes.

Combine Ingredients
Strain the jalapeño syrup to remove the solids and combine it with the blood orange juice and lime juice in a mixing bowl. Add a pinch of salt and stir well.

Freeze the Mixture
Pour the mixture into a shallow dish and place it in the freezer. After 30 minutes, use a fork to scrape the mixture, breaking up any ice crystals. Repeat this process every 30 minutes until the granita is fluffy and frozen, about 2-3 hours.
