    1 Put the sugar and water into a saucepan, heat and stir until the sugar has dissolved. Bring to the boil for 2 minutes. Cool the syrup completely and store in the fridge until required.

    2 If using frozen berries defrost them first, then purée the berries and push through a sieve to remove the seeds and fibres.

    3 Mix the sieved pureé and lemon juice into the cold syrup and taste – use additional lemon juice to add tartness if needed.

    4 Place the mixture into a rigid, freezer-proof container and freeze until edges are crystallised. Use a fork to scrape the crystals into the middle of the container and return to the freezer. Continue the process scraping the mixture and refreezing 3 times to produce big irregular crystals.

    5 Serve granita in chilled glasses as a refreshment or dessert accompaniment.
