Comment préparer Cherry Merlot Granita

Combine 1 cup water and 1 cup sugar in a small saucepan.
Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce heat and simmer for 3 minutes.
Remove from heat and stir in 1 cup ice until melted.
While the sugar syrup cools, zest 1 orange and then juice it to yield 1 teaspoon zest and 1 1/2 cups juice.
Place 2 cups pitted fresh cherries (or 1 (10 ounce) package frozen cherries, thawed) and the cooled sugar mixture in a blender. Blend for 1 minute, or until completely pureed.
Stir in the orange zest, orange juice (1 1/2 cups), and 1/2 cup Merlot. Pour the mixture into an 8x8 inch baking dish.
Cover and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until solid.
To serve, let the granita sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to soften slightly. Then, scrape with a fork until fluffy and icy crystals form.
