Pomegranate Granita
Serves 6
Mystifying pomegranates are an ancient fruit. The treat is in the tiny juice-filled seeds inside the unassuming looking skin. Use fresh or bottled juice for this recipe.
In a saucepan, bring water to a boil. Add sugar substitute and stir briskly until dissolved. Add juice and remove from heat.
Cool mixture completely, then pour into a shallow baking pan. Place in the freezer. Starting 30 minutes after placing in freezer, take a fork and begin scraping ice crystals into the center of the dish. Return to the freezer and scrape more ice crystals every hour or so until dish is a mass of ice crystals.
Cover until ready to serve. Serve in sherbet or martini glasses.
