Cranberry and Apple-Cider Sorbet

GOOD TO KNOW There are few good no-fat options for dessert, but sorbet is among them, and it’s definitely one of the most refreshing. It is also simple to prepare at home, and with less sugar than store-bought varieties. You can experiment with other types of fruit juices, alone or in combination, following the formula below.

Ingredients

2 cups 100% cranberry juice
1 1/2 cups unsweetened apple cider
1/2 cup sugar
