Pomegranate Granita

In the past I had been jealous, even quite envious when I would see that other bloggers had received a sample of this cute little bottle of POM Wonderful pomegranate juice. 

 But finally, I got my turn.  It's some seriously good stuff to drink straight from the (incredibly cute) bottle.  But I wanted to make something out of it.  So I decided on granita, from Dave Lieberman's recipe found at Food Network.  

It's the easiest thing ever, just a bit tart, and very refreshing.  I halved the recipe and it made plenty.  

Ingredients

• 7 cups pure pomegranate juice
• 1 cup orange juice
• 1 tablespoon superfine sugar, or more to taste

Directions

In a large bowl, combine the 2 juices and season with sugar, to taste. Pour into a 9 by 13-inch baking dish. Carefully place in freezer and freeze until solid, about 4 hours. Use a fork to scrape into large crystals and spoon granita into chilled glasses. Serve immediately.
