Pomegranate Granita


Not just for pomegranate. This is really how you make a granita with most any juice (sweet or savory). I did grapefruit yesterday. Granitas are a fun way to get your fruit juice, but they're also a classy thing to serve in between courses when you're attempting to host a fancy dinner.



  • 1 cup pomegranate juice (or other juice)

  • 2 tbsp sugar (or more, up to you)

  • pinch of salt

You want to use fresh juice. So squeeze that grapefruit and mush those pomegranate seeds.


In a bowl, whisk everything together until the sugar & salt have dissolved. Strain (if necessary).


Put mixture into a small, shallow, nonreactive dish (I used gladware. I know, I'm fancy).


Place the dish on a level surface in the freezer & freeze, stirring occasionally with a fork, until coarse, frozen crystals form. Takes about 2-3 hours. Sometimes more. Cover and keep frozen until ready to serve. Scoop granita into small bowls & serve immediately.
