Blackcurrant granita recipe

Ingredients
1kg (2lb) blackcurrants
300g (10oz) sugar

Put the blackcurrants in a processor and whizz until smooth and even the skins have turned to purée. In a pan, dissolve the sugar into 200ml (7fl oz) of water, bring to the boil and simmer for 2 minutes. Remove and cool. Mix with the purée and put in the freezer. Then mix every 15 minutes for 2 hours, and then every half an hour until the granita appears grainy and all the crystals have broken - it'll look like snow or coarse sand.
