Are the seeds dried or fresh? I just ate a whole dark toblerone bar in less than 24hrs. I really shouldn't buy them because I have no will power once I get going.Rock rose https://www.blogger.com/profile/00348711150803587369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3636445408720805216.post-67686974695478627812008-09-17T13:02:00.000-07:002008-09-17T13:02:00.000-07:00When I can find them here in Indiana, I pay about ...When I can find them here in Indiana, I pay about $2 a piece for pomegranates. I don't think, hope, it isn't $3 this winter! And my favorite candy is dark chocolate covered pomegranates, a candy that shows up at Sam's Club with their Christmas goodies.

As for my first juice, I went for a pomegranate martini. It looks as if you have loads more fruit them me - I was optimistic about mine trees this year, and am hopeful that next year will yield more.

This year those devils sucked the life out of my tomatoes whilst I was gone and ruined 1/2 the crop. I caught one on the a pom the other day and squished the life out of it. I would do the same if I were you.

They leaving partially eaten ones in the tree. I looked at one and it had a few bugs inside- The bugs were squared off, black, long legged things, like a small praying mantis- you know, long, skinny legs... triangular shaped pointy head...

We are having them in a salad tonight with dressing made from the juice. They are very expensive to buy here in Texas, which is a surprise. How much do you pay in Indiana. less than $2.99 I hope.Rock rose https://www.blogger.com/profile/00348711150803587369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3636445408720805216.post-52650260890075878052008-09-08T15:41:00.000-07:002008-09-08T15:41:00.000-07:00I love pomegranates but have to buy mine from the ...I love pomegranates but have to buy mine from the grocery store. They'll start to show up in a few weeks and be available until early January.<BR/><BR/>I break them open under cold water in a bowl and the seeds, which I put on salads and fruit salads, fall to the bottom of the bowl, the rind stuff floats to the top.
