I was staring at my near empty fruit bowl and wondering what I could do with a passionfruit and a pomegranate. Then it hit me...SORBET! This turned out so lusciously. It is refreshing and sweet and the passionfruit seeds give it interest and texture.
Here's the recipe.
Ingredients:
1 fresh pomegranate
1 fresh passionfruit
A handful of fresh or frozen raspberries
1 cup castor sugar
1-2 cups of water-divided use
Method:
Put the sugar and 1 cup of water into a pan and place on a medium heat to dissolve the sugar.
Add the pomegranate seeds and juice to the pan and simmer for 5 minutes
Add the raspberries and simmer until they just fall apart.
Take off heat.
Pour the mixture into a sieve and push the seeds thru. This will give you a smooth mix as the pomegranate seeds really don't soften much. It also removes most of the berry seeds.
Add passionfruit pulp and the other cup of water.
Place into the freezer and every half hour give if a brisk mix to break up the ice crystals. This is what makes the sorbet soft instad of just a big ice-block.
If you have an ice-cream maker use that and follow the machines instructions
Would go great served with a sprig of fresh mint.
