The markets have been full of pomegranates. However, they look a bit different. They are yellowish in color with a pink blush. I had actually purchased one but thought it probably wasn't ripe so I hadn't opened it up.
Last night one of the Turkish professors (she'll be teaching business administration next fall) came down with one of those yellow/pink pomegranates to share. She cut it open and the seeds were much more pink than red. And boy were they sweet. I remember the bright red seeds being on the tart side but these were wonderful. Also the hard, seedy part was softer. So I'll be buy more of those pomegranates.
I also bought a couple of persimmons today. I put one in the freezer. As I recall, you cut them open when they are frozen and eat them with a spoon. It's just like ice cream!

I has just fixed myself a pomengranate when I read this, and doing that always reminds me of sitting around with dad fixing them. I posted this memory on my facebook, and it turns out many of my friends have fond memories of pomegranates at the Dietz' in the fall! Unfortunately, I, not being as smart as my mom, spelled pomegranates...pomegranites. :(
ReplyDeleteAnd I just made a pomegranate, red bean, corn and cilandro salad. Pomegranates must be in the air. Great fruit.
