Pomegranate

Pomegranate has taken over the culinary scene as of late. Perhaps it's because it's considered to be the forbidden fruit (Adam & Eve's love apple), or because it's chock full of vitamin C, potassium, fiber, and low in calories, or because the real fruit is hidden beneath a layer of peel trapped in little of shiny, almost gem-like flavorful sacs. It may seem tough to handle these crazy little fruits, but they are well worth the effort. So, let's see what we can do with these delicious fruits.

The great thing about pomegranate is that it's flavorful and perfect festive for the upcoming holidays. An easy, but limited edition way to deal with pomegranate right now is Pomegranate 7up! When we first saw this, Laura and I took no chances in buying 6 2-liter bottles and have been back for me. This delightful treat came out last holiday season and will be great for holiday parties and treats. For more great ideas, check out this out!
