ISO Julie in Wa....I plan on making some chocolate pomegranate clusters. What do you mean by

chocolate seizing the pomegranate moisture? Can I just put the pomegranates in the melting chocolate, maybe add some walnuts or peanuts to make a cluster candy???

TIA Marsha

 
Marsha, can you still find pomegranates in your local stores? I haven't seen them here in weeks.

 
The melted chocolate sticks much better when you make sure the seeds are dry. I personally...

...haven't had the chocolate seize up on me because of moisture, but it was something somebody suggested to me as a point to be careful of. So just gently dry them off by spreading them out on a towel before adding them to the chocolate.

Melt the chocolate before adding ingredients, rather than adding ingred as the chocolate is melting. The seeds are a bit too fragile to handle being stirred around a lot. Just wait for the chocolate to be melted, then add in the seeds and yes, walnuts or whatever you like. I haven't added anything else in, myself, but it could be interesting. smileys/smile.gif I can't imagine the flavor of peanuts with pomegranate together...

 
So what's going on? Are they only in FL? We had a big run on them a few weeks ago, but now nothing.

 
Are you serious?!!! I don't need them for anything special-I just love them and only had 3 all year!

So, there's no emergency here, but hmmmm - I wonder how much the shipping would be - Of course I would reimburse you for the pomegranates and the shipping. I know if it's under a lb, it's not too bad - after that, everything is ridiculous, unless it's Media.

 
Pomegranate Frozen yogurt

Pomegranate Frozen Yogurt


Ingredients

2 cups freshly-squeezed pomegranate juice
1+ 1/2 cup plain, whole milk yogurt
2/3 cup Grenadine (pomegranate syrup)
1/2 cup sugar
2 tsp lemon juice
Method

Stir pomegranate juice and sugar over moderate heat until the sugar dissolves. Add lemon juice and let cool to room temperature.
In a bowl, combine yogurt, pomegranate juice and pomegranate syrup and whisk until completely combined.
Chill the mixture thoroughly (3 hours in the freezer works for me), then freeze it in your ice cream machine according to the manufacturer’s instructions. If you don’t have one, here’s how you make ice cream without a machine.

Julie, I made my chocolate pomegrante clusters...Yum...I chopped macadamia nuts and walnuts in the

food processor....then when the chocolate was melted I mixed in the nuts with the pomegrante seeds I had blotted on a towel. Blended all together, dropped by spoonfuls onto cookie sheets and into the freezer.

I just took them out and we're eating them cold. Very nice treat, a surprise when some pomegranate juice pops in your mouth. For that reason I think I'll have to keep them frozen and eat them as a cold candy cluster.

Thank you for the idea to make them into a chocolate candy!!! (((Julie)))
