Do you like eating pomegranates?

I don't really like them that much...I don't eat the seeds, so I have to spit them out. They look really pretty though.

I've never had pomegranate juice...I don't even know where to go get some. lol Pomegranate jellie sounds interesting...I would try some..

They do look pretty, don't they? I've always loved them, and used to spit out the seeds, No more, got over that.

As for the juice, it's now sold by a couple of companies. I buy the PomWonderful brand, because it's sold in the refrigerated section of the market, so I think of it as being better quality. They also sell the avrils, to save you the bother of peeling the pomegranate to get them. They're still pretty.

I used to buy cases of pomegranates and peel them to make jelly. Thankfully, now that one can buy pomegranate juice, I no longer have to. A friend of mine would help me, though, sometimes, and we'd stand there for hours, in front of the sink, up to our elbows in cold water, peeling pomegranates for jelly. It went a lot faster that way. I miss doing it with her, but don't miss having to do it.
