Citrus Compote with Grapefruit Granita image

Make granita no more than a day ahead of time for best texture. If it freezes solid, it can be revived by pulsing in a food processor. This recipe was inspired by a trip I took with my husband to Italy. -Jennifer Beckman, Falls Church, Virginia

This recipe is just okay. It's not bad, but it's not great either. I probably won't make it again.

The compote was too runny. I think I might have cooked it for too long. Next time I'll cook it for less time and see if that works better.

This recipe is a bit too sweet for my taste. I'll try using less sugar next time.

I had some trouble getting the granita to freeze properly. I think I might have added too much liquid. Next time I'll try using less liquid and see if that works better.

The compote was a little too tart for my taste, but the granita was perfect. I'll definitely make it again, but I'll use less lemon and lime juice in the compote.

The citrus compote was easy to make and very versatile. I used it on pancakes, waffles, and even yogurt. The granita was a nice addition, but I think it would be just as good without it.
