Pomegranate Granita Recipe

Print Recipe

Ingredients

2 pomegranates .
4 tsps soft brown sugar, depending on your taste (light brown sugar) or caster sugar, depending on your taste

Directions

Step #1 Slice off the top & bottom of the pomegranates, then break them apart & remove the seeds.
Step #2 With your hands, then push the mixture through a sieve, squeeze all of the juice out of the seeds, pressing down carefully to extract as much juice as possible without pushing the bitter skins through.
Step #3 Discard the seeds.
Step #4 In a large shallow glass baking dish that will fit in your freezer, mix the juice with the sugar & stir until the sugar has dissolved (place the pan over a very low flame if desired to speed the dissolving of the sugar).
Step #5 Freeze for 4 hrs, stirring every 15 mins.
Step #6 Scrape the surface of the ice with a spoon into large flaky crystals.
Step #7 Refreeze if desired.
Step #8 The granita should be served as a chunky ice, not a smooth sorbet.
