1 ½cupspomegranate juice(you can make your own or purchase Pom brand, which I opted to do)
¾cupsugar
1 ½Tbsp vodka(it helps keep the sorbet softer)
¼tspvanilla extract(also optional it gives the sorbet a warmer, deeper flavor, alternatively you could add a splash of lemon juice for a more refreshing and lighter taste)
Instructions
In medium-sized saucepan combine apple cider, pomegranate juice and sugar over medium-high heat.
Stir until sugar is completely dissolved.
Remove from heat, stir in vodka and vanilla extract.
Allow to cool for 5-10 minutes.
Pour into 13x9 pan and transfer to freezer.
Allow to freeze 4-6 hours (or overnight), scraping/stirring the contents of the pan once an hour for the first 3 hours.
If sorbet is difficult to scoop, allow to sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before scooping and serving.
