Hey Joan,

Thanks for the compliment!

Foodie Universe,

I get my pomegranates from my friend Nahoko. Her family has a tree, so she always has bagfuls when they're in season. I don't know if I really have a formalized method, but I've been eating these things since I was little, so I can seed them pretty fast.

I usually start by finding a weak point in

I love pomegranates. I only wish it were easier to get the seeds out. What's your pomegranate seed removal method (or do you cheat and buy the seeds at Trader Joe's)?

Aww CP,

That's sweet.

Darn it! Now you've got me craving fessenjahn.

BTW, I forgot to tell you this little funny. My brother's gf had never eaten pomegranates before this year. So when I gave her one, that I had cut into, she attempted to scoop out the seeds with a spoon! She said she thought it was supposed to be eaten like a grapefruit.

HC,

Poms rock! But, I understand that they're not everyone's cup of tea. The muffins taste similar to cranberry muffins, although they're sweeter, crunchier, and much less tart.

Deb,

That recipe looks awesome. I still have two pomegranates left. I may have to try it out.

WC,

You make homemade fesanjan? Be still my beating heart. You're

We've got a pomegranate tree but I've never eaten any of its fruit.
Thanks for the recipe - I might have give it a go next time the tree yields fruit, rather than let the pomegranates just go to waste like we have been every year. I suppose the neighbourhood birdswait for them to burst and then help themselves.

CP,

Why couldn't you have posted this recipe when I had tons of pomegranates from my uncles trees? They're all gone now. But those pomegranates aren't tart at all. Pure sweetness. I'd peel a bowlful and just eat them all.

I make Persian walnut-pomegranate chicken with my fruit. Mmm.

YUM! I just came across another pomegranite recipe that sounds interesting. Check out www.cupcakeblog.com

I never like poms by themselves but do enjoy pom-involved items -- desserts, sauces, and of course -- martini-like drinks. But an interesting spin off the traditional muffin - I'd imagine them to taste like cranberries.
