Preparation

Step 1

Dissolve sugar in 1-1/2 cups water in a saucepan over medium heat; let cool. Purée cherries and lime juice in a food processor or blender until smooth.

Add cooled syrup to cherry mixture. Pour into a shallow pan or baking dish and freeze until solid, 6 hr or overnight. Use a fork to scrape ice into a granita-like consistency and serve topped with a sugared cherry, if desired.
