🍨Pomegranate Granita🍨

Granita is a granulated crystal-like sorbet. Traditionally, granita is served as an intermezzo, a palate cleanser eaten between courses.

Ingredients:

2 cups pomegranate juice

1/3 cup orange juice

1 and 1/2 teaspoons lemon juice

1/2 cup sugar (or to taste)

1/4 to 1/2 cup pomegranate seeds

Directions:

1. In a bowl or pitcher, combine pomegranate juice, orange juice, lemon juice, and sugar. Pour into a 9 x 13 inch pan. Freeze two hours.

2. Using a fork or spoon, scrape to break up crystals, creating a slush.

3. Refreeze (two to three hours) and repeat, scraping the ice three times in total.

4. Use a fork to scrape granita into serving cups. Garnish with pomegranate seeds.
