Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 480 ml Pomegranate juice (fresh or bottled)
- 150 g Granulated sugar
- 120 ml Water
- 30 ml Lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 2 tbsp Pomegranate seeds (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a small saucepan, combine the sugar and water. Heat over medium heat, stirring continuously, until the sugar is completely dissolved to form a simple syrup. Allow the syrup to cool to room temperature.
In a mixing bowl, combine the pomegranate juice, cooled simple syrup, and freshly squeezed lemon juice. Stir well to combine.
Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions, usually about 20-25 minutes, until the sorbet reaches a smooth and creamy consistency.
If you do not have an ice cream maker, pour the mixture into a shallow, freezer-safe container. Place the container in the freezer and stir vigorously with a fork every 30 minutes for 3-4 hours to break up ice crystals, until the sorbet is frozen and smooth.
Transfer the churned sorbet to an airtight container and freeze for an additional 2-3 hours to allow it to firm up.
When ready to serve, scoop the sorbet into bowls or glasses. Garnish with pomegranate seeds if desired.
