Orange Spring Glow

I just love Spring.
And i am getting so very excited because Easter is coming faster than i would have imagined. Blossoms are everywhere and it is so delicious to see the sun shining after months of desperate grey fog.

Anyway, today i feel like i am "montée sur ressort" [springy]. And wanted to play a little.

Can you guess what's on the picture???
UPDATE - as Chanelle guessed it is Orange Granita.

Orange Granita
What i did is so simple i am ashamed to pass on the recipe to you. But sometimes the simpler the better.

Orange granita

serves 6-8

250ml water
100g caster sugar
