1. In a blender, combine chopped tropical fruits, fresh orange juice, honey, and lime juice—blend until completely smooth and the mixture looks like gorgeous sunset-colored smoothie.
2. Taste and adjust sweetness or acidity as needed, then pour into a shallow, wide baking dish for even freezing—deep dishes don’t work as well.
3. Place in freezer and set timer for 30 minutes—every 30 minutes for the next 2-3 hours, scrape mixture vigorously with a fork to break up ice crystals and create fluffy texture.
4. After final scraping, fluff the granita one more time until it looks like beautiful tropical snow, then serve immediately in chilled glasses with fresh fruit garnish if desired.
