Cherry Granita with Red Wine

Wash and pit the cherries.

Place the cherries with lemon juice, powdered sugar and red wine in a tall container and blend until smooth.

Pour the fruit mixture into a shallow metal bowl and cover tightly with aluminium foil.

Freeze for about 3 hours, stirring vigorously with a fork every 30–45 minutes until fine ice crystals form.

To serve, fluff the granita with a fork and spoon immediately into well-chilled glasses.
