Pomegranates

Penelope_Penguin

I've been enjoying pomegranates for the last few days, eaten as fruit :j

Does anyone else have any recipes for using them

TIA, Penny. x

I use the seeds to liven up cous cous or sprinkled onto a rice pilau, they are good in salads too

Hi all,

I'm trying not to waste food and found 5 :eek: pomegranates in the fridge, I really love them but I get soooo frustrated trying to pick them out with a pin that I think that's why I haven't bothered to eat them yet!!

Does anyone have any ideas of recipes I could use for these or should I face the truth and start picking away at them in earnest?

Oh I forgot to add that these are the only fruit and veg I have in and really aiming for a No spend week!

To get the seeds out cut them in half and bash the back with a wooden spoon, most of the seeds will come out, you should be able to take any lingering ones out quite easily!

I love to eat the seeds as they are, perhaps someone will come along with some good recipes!

Thanks! It certainly beats me sitting with a pin for hours on end tomorrow

Nigella has Pomegranate Vodka in her Christmas book. It looks beautiful; great as a last minute gift? (or to post to MandM :A)

Haha that really made me laugh! :rotfl: I shall have a gander....

Slightly off topic but I have been a lurker on this board for ages now reading guides and picking up some really helpful tips. I have been reading the thread about use by dates and I have anther question :A

I saw on another thread ( may have been the meal planning on) that someone had froze frubes, now I bought 40 on special offer for a pound in heron and they were use by 9th December but I didn't read the thread until the 10th and shoved them straight in the freezer, what's the chances of them being ok?

Pomegranate goes really well with duck, especially if you rub the skin with a mixture of cinnamon and salt before roasting until crispy - squish some seeds for a sauce and/or sprinkle some on top.
