Pomegranate Sorbet
Why I Love This Recipe
This is based on several sorbet recipes that came with my ice cream maker.
Ingredients You'll Need
2 cups water
1 cup sugar
2 cups pomegranate juice (such as POM)
¼ cup lemon juice
4 mint leaves
Directions
In a saucepan, heat water and sugar to boiling over high heat. Boil the syrup for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and cool to room temperature.
In a bowl, combine the syrup, pomegranate juice, and lemon juice. Cover and refrigerate until completely chilled.
Pour mixture into an ice cream maker and freeze as directed by the manufacturer. For mine, it takes about half an hour. If desired, transfer sorbet to an airtight container and freeze for 2 hours to firm and “ripen” before serving.
Scoop the sorbet into martini glasses or sundae dishes and garnish each with a mint leaf for an elegant looking dessert.
