more pomegranate goodness

This time it's sorbet (which I really prefer to ice cream anyway). I figure I have the juice, and no one but me wants to just drink it, and until my oven is finally fixed this week I'm not baking anything. I'm going through withdrawls!

pomegranate/blueberry sorbet

* 1 1/2 cups water
* 1 cup sugar
* 2 cups pomegranate (or pomegranate/blueberry) juice
* 1/4 cup lime juice


Directions
1. In 1-quart saucepan, heat water and sugar to boiling over high heat.
2. Boil sugar mixture 5 minutes, reducing it slightly to a syrup.
3. Remove syrup from heat and cool to room temperature.
4. In bowl, combine syrup and both the pomegranate and lemon juices.
5. Cover and refrigerate mixture until cold.
6. Transfer sorbet to airtight container and freeze until firm, 2 to 12 hours.
