Amazing Pomegranate Recipes

These incredibly delicious Pomegranate Recipes show you how to enjoy pomegranates in almost every way! Get ready for pomegranate goodness.

The crown jewel of Fall has arrived!

Pomegranates are beautiful to admire with their crimson skins and globe-like structures. I always buy an abundance to use in my holiday home décor and in my recipes. I use them for cooking and whatever is leftover stays on the counter to look amazing!

Besides their beautiful outer qualities, it’s what’s on the inside that we are talking about today.

Pomegranates can be used whole, juiced, or made into a syrup. The sky is the limit! (Pro tip: the ruby red seeds inside are called “arils” – they contain the seed & the juice.)

I’m sharing with you some of the best pomegranate recipes I’ve found and can’t wait for you to see them!

Pomegranate Appetizers:

Apple, Brie and Pomegranate Flatbread

Get the recipe for this Apple, Brie and Pomegranate Flatbread from our friends at Real CA Milk – it’s best paired with sparkling wine (from California of course!) but you do you.

Autumn “Caprese” with California Grown Persimmon and Pomegranate
