Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 (.25 ounce) envelope unflavored gelatin
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 dash salt
• 1 cup chilled whipping cream
• 0.25 cup cold water
• 3 cups unsweetened pomegranate juice

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Stir together pomegranate juice, sugar, lemon juice, and salt in a large bowl. Chill, covered, 30 minutes.

Step 2

Put the cold water in a small saucepan and sprinkle with gelatin; let stand 1 minute. Cook, stirring, over low heat just until gelatin dissolves, about 2 minutes. Stir into pomegranate mixture. Add cream; beat with an electric hand mixer at medium speed until mixture is foamy, about 3 minutes.

Step 3

Freeze in an ice cream maker according to manufacturer's directions until sherbet reaches soft-serve consistency, 1 to 1 1/2 hours.

Step 4

Transfer to a 1- or 2-qt. freezer-safe container. Put a piece of plastic wrap directly on surface; cover and freeze at least 2 hours or up to 1 month.
