Pomegranate and Cherry Granita  

This is a refreshing and healthy alternative to ice cream. Pomegranate and cherry juices are kept near the fruit juices in supermarket chiller cabinets.    

1. 1

   1. Tip sugar into a pan with the cold water. Heat gently until it has completely dissolved, stirring a couple of times. Bring the mixture to the boil and simmer for 2 to 3 minutes.
   
   2. Remove the pan from the heat and leave to cool. Then stir in the fruit juices, pour into a shallow rigid plastic container, cover, seal and freeze until firm.
   
   3. Once frozen, scrape the surface with a fork to create icy crystals and spoon into small glasses to serve at once.
