Summer is now here in all its glorious splendour and we are totally feeling the heat! We have however found respite in the refreshing fruit sorbets that are just so easy to make and just as healthy. One big reason we love sorbets? They make great use of all the wonderful summer fruits that are available in abundance and are not laden with the heavy duty dairy products. Here are some fruit combinations perfect for sorbet recipes…
 

Pomegranate and buttermilk sorbet

Pomegranate and buttermilk sorbet

Pomegranates and buttermilk both spell summer and together they make a sorbet that is juicy and creamy in the right measure. Plus pomegranates contain high levels of flavonoids and potent antioxidants that prove beneficial for the heart and buttermilk is rich in calcium, protein and carbohydrates that only make the two a delectable dessert recipe.
