pomegranate season has arrived! this is one of my favorite, favorite fall treats. and the kids love it too::
first things first i whip up a good amount of juice! so sweet and crisp....bottled pomegranate juice doesn't taste anything like it. there's just no comparison. the pasteurization process kills all of that sweet flavor. after we've downed our fill, i'll usually leave a bowl of arils in the fridge to pick on and toss in salads. for the juice, just separate out the arils and blend for 3-5 seconds and strain (press out all of the juice from the pulp with the back of a spoon)::
bottoms up!
