Pomegranate n Sweet lime Sorbet

Happy Karva Chauth ladies....this is the biggest form of male ego flattery but I still love it :)) some part of me loves being so traditional ..anyway my energy is really low now..waiting for the moon to come soooon..so going to keep the brief of this short..remember my fridge and its stock of cucumbers n pomegranates n sweet limes (why wud u actually :)) that was the brief for my cucumber kadhi..well the fruits have been put to great use especially for this weather...Sorbet..cool slushy fruity ice..slluuuurrp slllurp...try out any fruit flavours you'd like..want it totally guilt free then just omit the sugar syrup or use very little of it...

Ingredients

2 pomegranates, peeled
2 sweet limes (mausambi)
1/3 cup water
1/3 cup sugar
1 tablespoon lemon juice

1. To make the sugar syrup,place the sugar and water in a pan on a slow flame till the sugar dissolves..once dissolved , boil for a minute and turn off the gas.Let it cool till room temperature.
2. Cut the peeled sweet limes horizontally and remove all the seeds. Blend them with the pomegranates' peeled pulp.
3. After blending, run through a strainer.
4. Mix this pulp with the sugar syrup and lemon juice and leave to set in the freezer in a stainless steel bowl (have read that this is the best bowl to set sorbet in) after covering with cling film.
5. Just before serving (takes about 4 hours to set) remove from freezer and thaw a bit. Beat with an electric beater till entire mixture gets that slushyyy texture.
6. Serve quickly with choice of garnishing.
