This was really good. I used the juice from 4 pomegranates, which I think would make a much tastier sorbet, but it is more work and more of a mess. I halved the water, because I really wanted the pomegranate flavor to shine. I also used lime instead of lemon, since it goes so well with pomegranate. Yummy!! -
I prefer sorbets made with real fruit instead of juice, but this one is still very good! It's tart and refreshing. I added a few tablespoons of vodka to the mixture to keep it from getting too hard in the freezer, and by the following morning it was perfect. Thanks for the recipe, CoffeeMom! -
This had a great taste! A friend was making a big Indian dinner, so I made this along with cardamom ice cream and coconut ice cream. I thought the amount might be too much for my ice cream machine, so I reduced the water to about 1-1/4 cup. My machine wasn't cold enough to freeze this very much (after making the other ice creams!), so I put it in a container and put it in the freezer. I thought it would be too hard but it had a really nice texture. I used Knudsen "Just Pomegranate" juice, which by itself tasted a little bitter, but the sorbet's flavor was tart and refreshing and there was no bitterness at all. Thanks so much for posting this! It was just what I was looking for.

I also really like sewing. I make @ 1/3 of my daughters clothes. Reading is also a BIG staple in my life. One of my favorite ways to find a book is to walk into the library, pick a shelf and simply grab a book at random. I've read so many great books I probably wouldn't have found out any other way.
I also like to camp and fish with my DH. He eats, sleeps and breathes fishing. He would like to one day start his own company, he hand ties and sells fishing lures locally. And he loves my cooking and will try anything at least once. ;)
He works as a pressman at a local printing company.
