¾cuppomegranate liqueur
1 ¼cupswater
½cupgranulated sugar
4mint leaves
Instructions
Place peaches and pomegranate liqueur in the pitcher of a blender. Muddles the peaches in to the liqueur and let marinate for 30 minutes.
In a small saucepan, stir the water, sugar, and mint leaves together and bring to a boil, then simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and cool to room temperature.
Add mint simple syrup to marinated peaches in the blender, and pulse until evenly pureed.
Pour mixture into a 13x9-inch nonstick baking dish. Cover and place in freezer.
Allow granita to freeze for about 30-45 minutes, until the outer edge becomes icy. Using a fork, stir the icy portions into middle of pan.
Freeze until granita is frozen, stirring the edges into the center and fluffing every 30 minutes or so for about 2 hours, until it resembles fluffy shaved ice.
Cover tightly and keep frozen. Scrape before serving.
