Pomegranate
Granita
If you are looking for a light, refreshing and easy
to make dessert this is the one for you!
Serves
4
Preparation
time: 15 minutes (plus freezing time)
Cooking
time: 5 minutes
Ingredients
5 pomegranates
100g granulated sugar
250ml water
1 lime, juice only
Preparation method
1. Halve the
pomegranates and scoop 1 tbsp of seeds from one of the halves removing any
bitter membrane and set aside. Squeeze
the juice from the remaining halves using a juicer; you should remove around
250ml of juice.
2. Now place
the granulated sugar and water in a small saucepan to make the syrup. Gently boil the syrup for 5 minutes stirring
occasionally and leave to cool.
3. Once
fully cooked pour the pomegranate juice into the syrup, stir and add a squeeze
of lime juice. Taste and then add more
until you have added enough citrus to bring out the taste of the
pomegranate.
4. Place in
a suitable container for the freezer and freeze. Every hour beat the freezing mixture from the
sides to the middle to break down the ice crystals.
5. Remove
from the freezer 10 minutes before serving to soften lightly. Place in serving dishes and scatter with the
reserved pomegranate seeds on top.
Enjoy!
