Little Jewels

First experience w/Pomegranates last night: a semi-success!

I say "semi" because I'm not sure what I was thinking buying them now BEFORE I have a kitchen and a proper work space to cut and extract the seeds properly (the bathroom vanity wasn't the greatest idea). But I listened to various warnings and made sure I wore old clothes, because the juice squirts and stains easily! I made all the right cuts and used a big bowl of cold water...I just forgot the drying w/a paper towel part. Oh well.

They made for a wonderful, refreshing, tasty and healthy snack for me and my husband today. In the future, I'd like to do more things with them like actually make juice (which isn't too hard). They are wonderful w/cream cheese on crackers, on salads, in yogurt, w/ice cream, you name it.

If you've never tried pomegranates, 'tis the season!! Do it now while they're still ripe.

  1. They are great with just about anything.....I cant keep them around long enough to really cook with them because as soon as I seed them, the kids eat them all!
