Raspberry Cherry Granita

Pick over the raspberries and rinse briefly, then let them drain well.

Wash the cherries, remove the stones and roughly chop them.

Place the raspberries and cherries with lemon juice, powdered sugar and red wine into a blender and puree until smooth.

Pour the fruit mixture into a metal bowl and cover it well with aluminum foil.

Freeze for about 3 hours, stirring the mixture several times with a fork in between, until fine ice crystals form.

Alternatively, freeze the fruit mixture in an ice cream maker until it is nicely crystalline.
