By Katie Goodman
Cranberry pomegranate sorbet is a wonderful, seasonally appropriate party dessert. It packs great flavor while still being a more health-conscious option than most desserts. The sorbet’s beautiful color will certainly take the spotlight at your holiday party this year.
This is a great option for dessert if you need to work on preparations in advance, as the sorbet can be made many days ahead and stored in the freezer until you need it. Your guests will never know!
For fun, serve in mini martini glasses with a few glugs of champagne. Or for the non-alcohol drinkers and children, use sparkling water or sparkling white grape juice. Garnish with cranberries.
