Pomegranate Orange Granita
The sweetness of orange mellows the bitterness of the pomegranate juice in this refreshing granita.
INGREDIENTS | YIELD: 1 QUART
- 3 cups pomegranate juice
- 1 cup orange juice
- ⅔ cup sugar
Combine the juices and sugar in a saucepan over medium-low heat in a saucepan until sugar is completely dissolved. Remove from heat.
