Pomegranate Sorbet

(from megcolek’s recipe box)

If fruits were colleges, the pomegranate would be Harvard. Among its ivy-league nutritional qualities are loads of protective polyphenols and potassium. Pomegranate juice also appears to decrease the thickness of plaque in the arteries.

No Ice Cream Maker?
Here’s the low-tech way to churn out great sorbet. Place the fruit mixtures in a stainless steel or glass dish and put them in the freezer. When the mixture begins to harden, about 30 minutes, take it out and stir it till it’s silky. Repeat several times, and voilá! Delicious hand-made sorbet.
