Does anyone have a good recipe using pomegranates?

Are Pomegranate Ginger Muffins good?
Ohhh yummy !! Try this!!





Pomegranate Jelly





Ingredients


10 large pomegranates


1 (3 ounces) pouch liquid pectin or 1 box (1-3/4 or 2 ounces) dry pectin


2 Tbsp lemon juice


6 cups sugar








Instructions


To extract juice, cut crowns off pomegranates and score peel of each in several places. Immerse pomegranates, one at a time, in cool water in a large bowl; break into sections and separate seeds. Skim off floating peel and membrane; discard. Drain seeds.





In a 5 to 6-quart kettle on high heat, combine seeds and 1/2 c. water. Cover and cook until seeds are soft when pressed, about 10 minutes.





Set colander lined with cheesecloth in a bowl. Pour in seeds and liquid. Tie cloth closed. Wearing rubber gloves, squeeze bag to extract remaining juice. Measure; you need exactly 4 cups (if amount is short, add water).





If using liquid pectin, combine pomegranate juice, lemon juice and sugar in an 8 to 10-quart kettle; bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Add liquid pectin and bring to a boil that cannot be stirred down. Boil, stirring, for exactly 1 minute.





If using dry pectin, combine pomegranate juice, lemon juice and pectin. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Stir in sugar and bring to a boil that cannot be stirred down; boil, stirring, exactly 2 minutes.





Pour hot jelly to within 1/4-inch of rim of hot, sterilized, 1 or 2-cup canning jars. Wipe rims and put hot lids and rings in place. Set jars on a rack in a deep kettle; add boiling water to cover. Bring to simmering; simmer 10 minutes. Cool jars on a towel for 2 days.





Yield: about 7 cups
Reply:They are if I make them :-)





(In all questions of taste, the only real solution is to taste it.)

Pomegranate bugs. How to prevent the insects from destroying the fruit?

Hey Susan,





Pomegranate like many other fruits can be protected by systemic treatments (Bayer has a good one), that you put down according to the label. The other alternative would be to spray with a fruit tree spray (Ortho makes one called %26#039;Fruit Tree Spray%26#039;). Follow the label instructions. Never spray the flowers. You spray before the flowers or after the flower falls off leaving just the fruit. The site below says : %26quot;...Spray with Sevin or Malathion or insecticidal soap if insects become a problem.%26quot;, which are not very strong and would only be a problem within a couple of days of spraying - a good alternative.





Be sure to read the labels on your chemical applications.

My pomegranate tree I have had for a couple of years but it never bears flowers or fruit. Help!?

It had 2 pomegranates on it when I first had it but none since then. Not even a flower. Any hints?

Sometimes it takes years for fruit trees to bear fruit. Make sure the plant is well-watered and cared for. Not too much sun.


Every six weeks, put in some systemic fertiliser that is specific for fruit trees. You can find it at your local nursery.
Reply:The first answer was good. I would just like to advise that they have fruit tree fertilizer spikes which I intend to buy today.

Pomegranate? Healthy Food Choice?

What does it do for your body?


How many calories is it?


Anything else about pomegranates?

Pomegranate? Healthy Food Choice?
Hello!


First of all a pomegrante is a very healthy choice for your body. Any fruit and vegetable is good for your body. A whole pomegranate has a total of 105 calories. A pomegranate is considered an antioxidant. What this means is that it fights free radicals inside your body. Free radicals are agents(chemicals) inside your body, that are made from toxins that enter your body. For example if you second hand smoke, the toxins that go inside your body will create these chemicals called free Radicals.





Once they are inside your body they slowly destroy any nearby tissue. A pomegranate helps kill these free radicals and therefore keeping you healthier and giving you a longer life. A very good choice to go with!

Pomegranite juice originates from Pomegranites... Its quite a pricey option but very delicious. I hope yo like it, as well!
Reply:The juice comes from the pomegranate. It has a little kick to it but it is very good. I like the naked juice line but pom is also good. Try the pomegranate and blueberry it is also very good.
Reply:I%26#039;ve never experienced bitter pomegranate juice. I love the stuff and drink it all the time. Also, I get the juice from middle eastern or Mediterranean grocers, it tends to be better and cheaper than the stuff sold in regular grocery stores (i.e. pom, i think naked or odwalla have one too) or upscale places.
Reply:To me it%26#039;s delicious.
Reply:its bitter. but i like it. pomegranete is a fruit...pomegranate juice is the juice of the fruit........like..oranges and orage juice...


good luck with that one buddy
Reply:Pomegranates are luscious. Pomegranate juice is a mix of the seeds, the pulp, and fake sweeteners--it%26#039;s very bitter and makes some people%26#039;s throats hurt. Or, more simply, pomegranates are great and the juice is crap.

Reply:No I don%26#039;t think so. I%26#039;ve only seen fresh or bottled juice. They could possible be available canned in middle eastern markets? That I%26#039;m not sure of. I sure do miss my pomegranate tree.
Reply:I%26#039;ve only seen them fresh, and the pomegranate juice. The fruit is primarily liquid, so there wouldn%26#039;t be much left if dehydrated. If frozen, the membrane would burst and you%26#039;d mostly have juice.
