This is one of my go to recipes when oranges are in season. It is so refreshing and the maple syrup gives it just the right amount of sweetness. I double the recipe for the cardamom sour cream because it is so delicious with the granita. I put some in the bottom of a parfait glass, fill with the granita, and then top it with more of the sour cream. Pretty and over the top yummy!

Loved this recipe! It's so light and refreshing. The maple-cardamom sour cream adds the perfect touch of richness. I used blood oranges that I had on hand.
