My notes

Tips

Use 100% pomegranate juice, not a pomegranate drink or blend. No pomegranate juice? Tart cherry juice makes a similar deep red sorbet.
For a rounder, less tart flavor, swap 50 ml of the pomegranate juice for orange juice. A pinch of cinnamon makes it taste even more like Christmas.
To free the seeds, halve the pomegranate and tap the back of each half firmly with a wooden spoon over a bowl. The seeds keep for 5 days in the fridge.

Why it works

Pomegranate juice has plenty of natural sugar, so a little more brings the mix to about 20% and keeps the tubpint soft. With no pulp, it freezes into a fine, clean-tasting sorbet.
