  • Meanwhile, juice the pomegranates. Squeeze and press the skin of seven of the pomegranates vigorously to crush the seeds inside. Hold the squashed fruit over a bowl, slit the skin with a knife and the juice will pour out.

Serve the sorbet in scoops, scattered with a few seeds from the remaining fruit.
