It’s no secret to anyone who’s been reading for a while that I adore pomegranate seeds. Last year I was drinking a lot of pomegranate juice and eating the seeds by the handful. This year we’ve gotten a little crazy with them and have been adding them to all sorts of things.
They are fantastic sprinkled on hummus - in fact, it’s my new favorite lunch. They’re also wonderful with goat cheese on a cracker. And tucked into a pita pocket with halloumi cheese (they roll off the cracker when paired with a harder cheese!) I added some pomegranate seeds to a fruit salad I made the other day with great success and used them for decoration on a pineapple upside down cake I made my son for his birthday (instead of maraschino cherries, which none of us like) I’m thinking that they would be nice coupled with brie too but I haven’t tried that variation yet.
Like apples, they can be stored for a long time and supposedly improve with age. I’m going to have to stock up before the season ends!
You guys don’t like maraschino cherries? We eat them by the jar around here. LOL
