...."P" for pomegranates, that is. Let's hear it for Pomegranates!!!
A few weeks ago, I could NOT wait any longer!!! I remember asking here when the time is 'ripe' for picking...some said, "NOW" while others say, "Nope, wait longer." This is only the first year for our pomegranate tree to be planted and surprisingly we had it bare fruit the first season. I so love these. Being that they are very expensive per fruit in our stores here in Texas, with the ones that I just picked, it has already paid for itself!! Seriously. And the juices just flowed!! The flavor is unbeatable. The thing that tops it all off, I love 'em and they're good for me!! Unlike my love of cheeseburgers, y'know? Delicious!

I have never had a pomegranate! It's not something you see around here, but I'll have to look in the produce section for the unusual fruits and veggies. I really should try one!
ReplyDeleteOh Mari....you should try and find 'em. They're just so good!! Tart...very tart, and so fun to eat.
ReplyDeleteWoo hoo Anni! We're in on Ruby Tuesday just after you. Love your edible red week photos! Wow! growing your own pomegranates. Our motto is to only plant edibles but I don't think they grow in NC. I'll have to look in to that!
ReplyDeleteLovely photos! All the best from Anette in Norway :)
ReplyDeleteOk, I'm curious. What do you do with them? I mean, do you have a special recipe? Please share! I've never had a pomegranate.
ReplyDeleteLove your header, BTW! Eating more pie is NOT a problem! LOL
I can honestly say, "I don't believe that I have ever had a pomegranate".
ReplyDeletePomegranates are yummy, and healthy too
ReplyDeleteThey look simply delicious; I want some, I do!
:)
Empty Nester You eat only the seeds...not the fibrous outer layer!! I've only known the fresh, from the fruit seed eating...other than that, juice can be made...and I've drank that also...so very delicious and tart!! As for recipes, I don't have a clue. Just eat it fresh.
ReplyDeleteLove the juice,
ReplyDeleteHappy Ruby Tuesday
Fall Beauties
juicy ruby fruits—
ReplyDeletedelicious pomegranates,
ruddy little seeds
You are so lucky to grow you own pomegranate, they are very expensive. Enjoy and Happy Thanksgiving to you n yours!
ReplyDeleteWow Anni, it paid for all the work huh! That's why I love to plant fruit trees because it excites me when they bear fruit. And you are blessed that in the first season it gave you sweet and juicy fruit. And yes this fruit is expensive too!

I never know what to do with those things! I buy the juice in the store sometimes...nice color red! Happy RT!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!!! Have a fabulous day and thank you for the birthday wishes!

I love these, too, and ate a lot of them as a teen. Haven't had one in waaay too long. Ummm, these look so pretty, too.
ReplyDeleteI finally realized what you meant by Blogging Over 50 button wouldn't work after April. I thought you meant ONLY that button..I see now that it is all links to other blogs on our blogroll. I also understand that they are working on the problem and hope to have it up and running without a hitch soon, if it IS taken down.
I love pomegranate juice
ReplyDeleteand it's really yummy as a cocktail mixer ;)
Very impressive. The birds always get ours long before they're ready to eat.

I have only had them in juice. I have never bought any to eat. I will have to see if I can find them.
ReplyDeleteHave a blessed Thanksgiving Day.

LOVE pomegranates!
ReplyDeleteWe all love the taste of pomegranate in our home, a blend of sweet and tart, withe the edible seeds. Nice ruby!
ReplyDeleteHi Anni....I just learned to love them last year. My s-i-l had a bowl full on the table at our Christmas supper....delicious.
ReplyDeleteHeads up..This Thursday Madi and I are participating in 'The Story of Me' sponsored by a Doxie Friend in honor of her Gotcha Day.
We'll be back on board the Thursday Theme Song the following week.
Happy Thanksgiving...we're celebrating T-giving tomorrow night. I'll be busy as a cat in a room full of rocking chairs tomorrow. Our daughter and hubby will be with his family on Thursday.
Hugs Madi and Mom
They're beautiful! And worth about a zillion dollars each here in Oregon too! Lucky you.
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving.
I love pomegranate it's such an interesting fruit. Enjoy and how wonderful that you can grow them. Happy Thanksgiving Anni!
ReplyDeleteI lived in Portugal as a child and remember well how much we looked forward to cutting these up and lickin' 'em up, as kids! Wish we could grow them here.
ReplyDeleteYum! I remember the year my daughters were banned from taking fresh poms to school because they left a stain everywhere!
ReplyDeleteWhen I was in Egypt we had them every morning on the breakfast buffet, already pealed, it was delicious ! I ate them for the 2 weeks I stayed there !
