We recently saw similar-sized pomegranates for 99 cents each at our local ShopRite. We were SO tempted to get one except that we already had one at home from a friend, and I find them rather rich to eat quickly. But boy are they a treat! Where are they grow, do you know?
Hi Caleb and Emily Designs,
We eat them everyday, so they aren’t wasted at our home. We just love, love, love them.

i used to make a delicious pomegranate sorbet. i’ll hunt up the recipe for you. if i remember correctly, it’s really simple.
Hi Annette,
That would be fab. I have an icecream maker, so I could whip some up.

my favorite recipe book EVER…apples for jam, by tessa kiros has this simple wonder of a recipe.
4 ripe pomegranates
juice of one lemon
4 1/4 ounces caster sugar (superfine)
juice the pomegranates thoroughly. should have 1 3/4 cups juice. put the lemon juice in a saucepan with the sugar and 2-3 tablespoons of the pomegranate juice. heat, stirring, over medium-low heat until the sugar has dissolved. remove from heat, leave to cool a little and stir in the rest of the pomegranate juice.
pour into your ice cream machine and churn, following the manufacturer’s instructions.
serves 4.
there are also directions for those of us who don’t have a ice cream machine. if anyone is interested i’ll add them
Hi Annette,
Sounds delicious. Can I share this on Sweet Greens? I can’t wait to try it.
Thank you for sharing.

I have only eaten them as juice…well drank them I guess…I thought they were full of seeds…can you eat the seeds or do you spit them out? Educate me!
Hi one4earth,
We eat the seeds and they are delicious.
