Pomegranates

Pomegranates are one of the best fruits and are in season in
late October through November. They are expensive at over a
dollar each in the stores. The extracted juice is sold in
specialty shops year round, though I do not think they take
much care in the process - just turn the bottle upside down
and look at the sediment. My absolute favorite jelly is
pomegranate though it takes a lot of work to make it
correctly.

If not sealed properly, pomegranate syrup becomes brown and
sludgy from oxidation. Once you open a bottle, use it
quickly; what was once red will soon be brown and ugly, and
slightly more acidic.

POM brand juice is very good.

Yes, it's hard to get the seeds out of season.

You say you liked the seeds. The last time I served a salad
with pomegranate seeds there was excessive spitting at the
table. Rather than providing background info on dishes
served with seeds, I've reverted to using pomegranate juice
and syrup for sauces and dressings.

Cortas makes a decent unsweetened juice. it's fuzzy to deal
with and seldom red especially if prepared with broth or
fond. Sadaf makes a great sweetened syrup that lasts a good
long time in the fridge before settling to sludge. Turning
the bottle upside down in the fridge reconstitutes it and it
still retains it's pleasant color.

Seeds aren't the same as the fruit. Any good sized
Indian market will have them, and call them anardana. On
line Indian markets will have them, too. They are not
spendy. For more info see, of course, Gernot's page: www-www-Open ↗

They keep pretty well, too. blacksalt

A quick Google says that "pomegranate guacamole" is
indeed real.

We just chew up the seeds. I thought that's what everyone
did. Anyway, I've never run across anyone who separated
the pulp from the pip unless they were planting or making
juice. The juice, however, makes a delightful punch. We
served pomegranate punch at our wedding.

Gosh, when I was a kid the neighbor across the street had a
pomegranate tree we had a lot of neighborhood pomegranate
fights. I remember getting in trouble coming home with
pomegratate stains on my clothes (lousy ducker) At over a
dollar each now, wow, that was a lot of money lofted across
the street.

I used to have a pomegranate tree in my front yard Koko. I
almost never got more than three or four ripe ones. The
neighborhood kids or the birds got the rest. I finally
took it down. Never got around to planting another in the
back yard.

Yum, Pomegranates are so good. It is one of my favorite
foods and I look forward to fall to when they come in season
every year.
