Flavor #23 - Blueberry Pomegranate Sorbet

A happy accident. I did plan to make this, just not this week. This was supposed to be a Blueberry Sorbet. I ended up not having enough blueberries for even a small batch. I originally bought a pint of fresh blueberries thinking I would add an equal amount of simple syrup, forgetting that blueberries are already so sweet that an equal amount of simple syrup would be sweetness overkill.

Bring on the Pomegranate juice.

1 Pint of Blueberries 

1/2 A Lemon, Juiced

Simple Syrup of 3/4 Cup of Water and 1/2 Cup Sugar

3/4 Cup of Pomegranate Juice

I started by heating the blueberries with a little sugar and water before straining the juice, enough to yield about a cup. Add the rest of the ingredients and let it all chill for a few hours before tossing it into the machine.

The whole thing came out better than expected and one of the boys has already been in for a second helping.  It also goes well with a scoop of Vanilla.

Enjoy!
