Hey everyone! Blogland is such an amazing place! I received an e-mail from the very generous folks at POM Wonderful asking if I'd like to try their pomegranate juice-you bet and thank you!
We've all seen the pretty bottles at the store:
I do like to can jams and jellies and thought this was a great opportunity to make jelly for
Thanksgiving and Christmas gifts!

Just Something I Whipped Up
What an interesting flavor for jelly. It sounds yummy!
ReplyDeleteSounds delicious!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! I'd love the jelly as jelly and I bet it would be great on chicken and pork and plenty more! Looks delicious, it's such a pretty color!
ReplyDeleteLooks and sounds wonderful, Lynn...Christine
ReplyDeleteLove POM...I know it would make great jelly. Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like a delicious jelly. Great idea for the upcoming holidays!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for passing this on. This would be a very unique gift for sure.
ReplyDeleteYum, yum, yum. This would be so delicious and such a nice gift.
ReplyDeleteI make jams and jellies but I have never made pomegranite jelly -- what a deep delicious color for the holidays. Joni
ReplyDeleteI love what you did with your Pom juice! It would taste wonderful in a thumbprint cookie!
ReplyDeleteOK, this sounds wonderful, and Poms are SO HEALTHY!!! Just one benefit after the other. I could try this. I think...
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea to use up your POM wonderful. I love making jelly. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI got it too, but we didn't like it as a juice, kind of bitter. I was looking for something to make with it! I think I will try a salad dressing.
ReplyDeleteYour idea for jelly is good!
This jelly looks so pretty and is prefect for this time of year. I adore tangy pomegranates and buying the juice is genius! I think my family would love it on hot cornbread or rolls.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea. I have to llok for something similar because I guess it is not offered in Germany. But the idea of pomgranate jelly is yummy. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteGreetings, Johanna
Lynn, I think this would taste wonderful. I do not make jelly or can any more. So glad you do though! ♥O
ReplyDeletewhat a clever use of the POM juice Lynn!! I am using my case as the base for a punch for a baby showing I am hosting this next weekend :)
ReplyDeleteBlessings!

My mom always made pomegranate jelly, but it was labor intensive juicing all those pomegranates. I love the ease of your recipe.
