This Blueberry-Pomegranate Granita from our dear friend Natalie (she of the wonderful Perrys’ Plate blog) has a fresh and tart flavor that’s perfect at the end of a hearty meal. Or as a quick, guilt-free snack. And look at that color!

You only need 5 or 6 ingredients, a blender, and a container in the freezer to make this refreshing granita. You can even change up the fruits and juice to create your own flavors.

Thanks for sharing this in your recipe box, Natalie!

I know it’s probably still cold in many places but I desperately want the warm weather to be here already. Maybe if we start talking frozen treats, spring weather will come sooner. So tell us, do you have any favorite flavors for granita or slushies or sorbets or anything else frozen except what’s on the ground that refuses to go away?

(I hear overstaying winters can make some people cranky. Not that I’d know anything about it.)

Come share your favorite flavors in the comments. In the meantime, stay warm, think spring-y thoughts, and wherever you are, I hope the flowers and buds are starting to make their appearance!
