:: October ::
First the pomegranates and soon the winter . . . blame it on Persephone or Demeter, or hell, just go ahead and give Hades the credit. Summer lingered here, and the fall harvest was a bit early. We have just now slidden smoothly into a cool fall, with the melagrane appearing this October.
And now a cocktail recipe: Combine one part pomegranate juice to two parts Prosecco. Throw in a few whole seeds to dress it up a bit. Serve chilled at any time of the day, guilt free. Pomegranate juice is good for you, afterall!

ReplyDeletelovely picture. our children like them specially (without Prosecco). I wish you a nice CV-day!
ReplyDeleteDana, you remind me of my nephew who says that eating a handful of tropical-flavored Skittles is the same as eating fruit salad. Salute!
ReplyDeleteHave you read Traveling with Pomegranates by Sue Monk Kidd and her daughter?
ReplyDeleteI love love love your photo.
ReplyDeleteI'd like to try that recipe.
My mouth is watering, and your juicy photo makes me a little jealous of your early winter ... just a little.
ReplyDeleteyum! I'm so down with the recipe... this is one even I can't mess up ;)
ReplyDeleteOh, delicious! I LOVE to put them in my yoghourt!
ReplyDeletemmm, looks great, tasty and "juicy" ;-)
ReplyDeletemmm. I love pomegranate, especially in a mango /blueberry and lime juice salad.
ReplyDeleteYum! There is a restaurant here that serves the most wonderful pomegranite champagne cocktails. You've got me wishing I was there right now.
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorites!!
ReplyDeletesounds delicious :)
ReplyDeleteProsecco is a hip drink, I've heard.
ReplyDeleteBut I'm not hip, I only drink oloroso type wines.
(Your recipe reminds me a bit of the punch my mother used to make. I think I tasted my first wine then.)

Love these little seeds by the handful or in salads
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tip about the pomegranate spritzer. Will try in the summer. I think you could pretty much mix anything with prosecco and come up with something delish :)
