Method

1. Cut the pomegranate in half and, holding it cut side down over a bowl, tap the skin with a wooden spoon to knock out the seeds; pick out the white pith.
2. Blend the seeds for just a few seconds to break them, then push the mixture through a fine sieve with a spoon to collect the juice.
3. Add the orange juice and sugar and stir until dissolved; pour into a shallow metal tin and put it in the freezer.
4. Every 30 minutes, for about 3 hours, scrape the surface and edges with a fork, until the whole mixture has turned into grainy ice crystals; serve straight away.
