I have just eaten my first pomegranite of the season and it was really yummy. I like to add them to salads this time of year also. What else can we do with them? |

oh i used to live in an ancient house with and equally old pomegranite bush. No one watered it, but it had the biggest, most ripe and juice pomegranites. We decided it must have had a root into the sewer or the storm drain, as we lived in the city (but on three acres with the original milking house and 2 story barn!) anyways, I would just eat em. I hadn't even thought of puting them into salads! For me, they are kind of a porch settin' snack. Get a chair and some fun people for conversation, grab a pom and some rags that wont care if they are stained and 'set a spell'. Much better than potatoe chips, thats for sure!
And this is reminding me that one of my husbands coworkers said he was going to give us a bunch, now that I remember, I'll have to bug him! thanks!

Good Morning! From the posts I've been seeing, I feel "almost" quilty telling you that it's a beautiful, sunshiny, 80 degree day here in North Florida :-(
I just got the latest magazine, and I'm not to the pomegranate part yet! I'm having company for the next three days, so I may not get that far 'til next week sometime.
Thanks, Carolyn

Pom jelly and pom juice, both a pain to make, ( you have to have a juicer, and it takes alot of poms ), but yummmmmmmmmmm, worth the effort.

They should feel firm when you pick them. The skin should be smooth and not wrinkly. That means they are drying out and old. I slice mine into quarters and eat the beautiful red rubies of fruit inside. The pithy part is creamy white and tastes bitter. Its sort of like a membrane inside. Just eat what looks delicious. |

YEA!
I saw them in the store yesterday.
They are soo tasty
I also eat then in salads
Not really sure what else they can be used in othe than lettuce or jello/fruit salads?
Maybe as a garnish to stirfry?
Maybe the Pomwonderful company has a website that might include a few recipes. Pomwonderful is the #1 grower out of California |
