Instructions

  • BLOOM GELATINE: Pour 100ml of cold water into a small bowl and sprinkle over the gelatine powder. Leave to swell (this is called ‘blooming the gelatine’) while you prepare the sugar syrup.
  • PREPARE SUGAR SYRUP: In a medium saucepan heat 150ml water and the sugar, stirring until the sugar is dissolved. Bring to the boil, allow to boil for 10 minutes then remove from the heat.
  • ADD GELATINE: Whisk the gelatine mixture into the hot sugar syrup, then set aside to cool for 10 minutes.
  • PREPARE DISH: Meanwhile, line a shallow 1-litre capacity dish with clingfilm (this makes lifting the sorbet out later much easier).
  • ADD JUICE: When the syrup has cooled, whisk in the pomegranate juice and citric acid, starting with ½ tsp and adding more to taste - remember that the flavours will not be as pronounced when the sorbet is frozen.
  • FREEZE: Pour into the prepared dish and freeze for 4-6 hours until quite firm.At least 2 hours before you want to eat the sorbet, remove from the freezer, allow to soften for 5 minutes, then cut into chunks.
  • BLEND: Process on high in the food processor or blender until the mixture is light and fluffy. If the mixture doesn’t begin to quickly break up and turn pale pink, don’t force the processor! Let it sit for 5 minutes and then try again.
  • REFREEZE: Use a spatula to quickly transfer the sorbet to a container with a lid (I save old ice cream containers for this purpose( and return to the freezer until needed.

Notes

No-Churn Pomegranate Sorbet keeps for several months in an airtight container.
