Ingredients

Method

  • STEP 1

    Tip the sugar into a bowl and pour over 600ml of boiling water from a kettle. Stir to dissolve, then set aside to cool.

  • STEP 2

    Meanwhile, juice the pomegranates. Squeeze and press the skin of seven of the pomegranates vigorously to crush the seeds inside. Hold the squashed fruit over a bowl, slit the skin with a knife and the juice will pour out. Mix the juice with the syrup and churn in an ice-cream machine until set, then scoop into a plastic container and freeze. Serve the sorbet in scoops, scattered with a few seeds from the remaining fruit.

RECIPE TIPS
WHY NOT TRY

Simply adding pomegrante seeds to a salad of bitter winter leaves, or stirring seeds into rice or couscous dishes.

MAKE A GRANITA

If you don’t own an ice-cream machine, make the syrup into a granita by freezing it on a tray, then breaking up the ice crystals with a fork when it starts to turn slushy. Finally, leave it to freeze completely.
