    Method

     

    To make the granita, mix 100ml cassis and orange juice together in a shallow plastic tray.
    Place in the freezer.
    Once the mixture starts to freeze, use a fork to gently break apart the frozen mix and 'fluff'.
    Stir every 30 minutes to prevent freezing into a solid block.
    To make the jelly, place the cassis and water into a small saucepan and bring to the boil.
    Remove from the heat and whisk in the dissolved gelatine.
    Allow to cool but not set
    To make the pannacotta, place the passionfruit syrup, honey and half of the anchor cream in a small saucepan and bring to the boil.
    Remove from heat, whisk in 2? Tsp gelatine and allow to cool.
    Place the remaining anchor cream in a mixing bowl and semi-whip.
    Fold the cream through the de winkel yoghurt.
    Carefully fold the cooled liquid cream mixture into whipped cream and yoghurt mixture.
    Pour into glass tumblers and set in fridge for one hour.
    In a small saucepan, bring homebrand caster sugar, water, star anise and lime juice to the boil.
    Add orange zest and ginger.
    Simmer for 15 minutes until syrupy.
    Add orange segments and remove from heat.
    Once the pannacotta is set, pour over cooled cassis jelly mixture and return to fridge for at least one more hour.
    When set, garnish with granita, orange segments and ginger syrup.
