Today, research is supporting some of the claims for health benefits of pomegranates and pomegranate juice.
People throughout history have eaten this fruit for its unique taste and its assumed health benefits. Pomegranate juice is especially common in Iran, but other countries enjoy it as well.
Alternately, you can remove the seeds and press them to release the juice. The pomegranate is cut open and pulled apart to reveal the seeds and juice sacs. Pomegranate can be enjoyed in many ways, with the most common being handheld eating. It was brought to North America in the 1700s, and it is now widely cultivated in California. It also has a lengthy history of cultivation all throughout the Middle East, Indian subcontinent, and Mediterranean regions of Africa, Asia, and Europe. Pomegranate, or Punica granatum, is native to Western and Central Asia, from Iran to northern India. The juice sacs have a pleasing sweet-sour taste and the edible seeds have a crunchy texture. I was sent a bottle of Van Gogh Pomegranate vodka and the color of the liquor just screamed Valentine’s Day to me.Pomegranates are unique-looking spherical fruits with thick red skin, white spongy inner walls, and white seeds individually encased in thick red juice sacs. The Honey Pom Pom is made with Van Gogh Pomegranate vodka, pomegranate juice, lemon juice, and honey syrup for a crisp and refreshing cocktail. In honor of Valentine’s Day, I made Honey Pom Poms, which is a Honey Pomegranate Cocktail, and my husband and I sipped on them with our dinner. We had a cocktail with our dinner tonight. I’m not much of a romantic but yet I love Valentine’s Day. Pretty romantic Valentine’s Day, huh? See …. As we watch the Olympics I am writing this post. After church we came home, ate chocolate-covered strawberries and sat down to watch the Olympics. Today is the official start of Lent, and I’ll never stop being a good Catholic school girl, so we went to church. After dinner I ran Kid #1 to an appointment (with Kid #2 in tow) then met the hubby at church for Ash Wednesday. While the kids were at school I worked my daytime hustle which was crazy-busy.įor dinner I picked up heart-shaped cheese ravioli from a local pasta shop and paired them with a crab marinara sauce (complete with crab lump meat), salad and garlic bread. Today I sent my kids off to school in cute Valentine’s Day tees (Kid #1 wore a shirt like this -> Trunk Candy I Chews You Chewbacca Valentine’s Day Kids Tri-Blend T-Shirt (Vintage Red, S(6/7)) and Kid #2 wore a t-shirt like this -> inktastic Valentine Boys Ladies Man Toddler T-Shirt 5/6 Black 2e60a. Yet, I find myself filled with the warm and fuzzies – perhaps hit by cupid. I’m not a particularly romantic person so it is a little surprising to me that I like Valentine’s Day as much as I do. If you haven’t figured it out yet, I love Valentine’s Day! How was your Valentine’s Day? Did you spend time enjoying the revolving posts on social media of bouquets, cards and other gifts? My social media feeds were filled with proclamations of love and gratitude and pictures of sweet kids celebrating Valentine’s Day in their classrooms or with their families. Happy Valentine’s Day! Today, I’m sharing this deliciously refreshing Honey Pom Pom (Honey Pomegranate Cocktail) with Van Gogh Pomegranate Vodka for the perfect Valentine’s Day cocktail.
