I recently ate at The Barrio Cafe in Phoenix where they made guacamole at the tableside. It was excellent. One special ingredient was pomegranate seeds. Where can I order these at this time of year? Thank you, Edward Warren [email protected]
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.

Once you open a bottle, use it quickly; what was once red will soon be brown and ugly, and slightly more acidic. -sw

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

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.

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: http://www- ang.kfunigraz.ac.at/~katzer/engl/generic_frame.html?Pun- i_gra.html They keep pretty well, too. blacksalt

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. Regards, Ranee -- Remove do not and spam to e-mail me.

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. Charlie
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.
