Blueberries and pomegrante are the perfect combo for this delicious sorbet. The flavor is a burst of berry and sweet pomegranate, so get your taste buds ready!

Ingredients:

• 2 cups pomegranate juice
• ¼ cup simple syrup
• 1 tablespoon lime juice
• 1 cup frozen blueberries

Equipment:

• Freezer
• Cutting board
• Knife
• Whisk
• Baking sheet
• Gallon sized bag
• Measuring cups
• Measuring spoons

Recipe Steps:

Prepare the pomegranate juice:

1. Whisk together the pomegranate juice, simple syrup and lime juice.
2. Pour the juice mixture into a gallon sized bag and seal the bag.
3. Lay the bag flat on a baking sheet. Freeze for 6 hours or until frozen. Since the mixture is high in sugar, it won’t freeze into a solid rock. It’s still have some movement, which is good. We want the sorbet to be smooth and scoopable!
4. Once the juice mixture is frozen, take the bag out of the freeze and break it up into pieces. 

Prepare the sorbet:

1. Add the broken up pomegranate juice pieces and frozen blueberries to a food processor.
2. Pulse until everything is blended together.
3. Stop the food processor every once in a while to scrape the sides and continue blending. 

Serve the pomegranate sorbet:

1. Serve the sorbet right away as it’s at its ideal temperature and consistency.
2. Otherwise, freeze it in a container and reblend in a food processor when serving to get the fluffy, smooth consistency again.
