1 Pour fruit juices and sugar into a small saucepan. Cook, stirring, over a low heat until sugar dissolves. Set aside to cool.

2 Place melon in a food processor and blend until smooth. Add juice mixture and pulse to combine.

3 Pour mixture into a shallow metal baking pan and freeze for 1 hour or until the edges start to become icy. Use a fork to stir the icy edges into the centre of pan. Repeat this step every 30 minutes or until granita is completely frozen.

4 To serve, scrape granita with a fork to form icy crystals then place in small serving dishes. Serve immediately.
