I am excited to be one of the
Pink Saturday bloggers being featured today! Thanks for stopping by my blog! I have a great summer recipe to share with you.
I received an email from
POM Wonderful offering to send me some pomegranate juice. Who could pass up an offer for free juice? Thanks, POM Wonderful. Until a few months ago, I'd never had a pomegranate or pomegranate juice. If you enjoy flavored vodka, you'll like this
Pomegranate Infused Vodka. When squash is plentiful in the Fall, give this
Butternut Squash, Sweet Potato and Pomegranate Soup a try.
Having tried a cocktail and a main dish with pomegranates, I decided to try a dessert. I love the smooth and creamy texture of
this sorbet. Using this recipe as a guide, I made Buttermilk Pomegranate Sorbet. The pomegrantes give it a nice tart flavor with just a hint of sweetness.
Pomegranate SorbetMakes approximately 7 cups
3/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup pomegranate juice
1 tablespoons lemon zest
2 cups buttermilk
Stir sugar, pomegranate juice and lemon zest in a medium bowl. Add buttermilk, stir until sugar is dissolved. Chill until cold, at least 4 hours. Process mixture in ice cream freezer, approximately 20 minutes. Transfer to contained with lid; freeze. (Can be made 3 days ahead.)
My notes on this recipe: I added about 1/4 cup of vodka to this recipe. I drizzled it into the mixture while it was freezing. You know how homemade ice cream can be hard to scoop? The alcohol keeps it from freezing too hard.
