So, I'll just get right to business ... I've cooked several different things incorporating my POM juice in it as well as drank some plain, and so far ... I love it!
I hadn't actually tried POM Wonderful pomegranate juice until I received my care package (though I already knew I love POM Wonderful's pomegranates!). So, having tried the juice, I was definitely not disappointed!! I could definitely drink it everyday and not get tired of it. Also, I'm finding that you can do a lot of things with it while cooking and it really adds great flavor!So tonight, I made garlic and spinach stuffed chicken with a pomegranate strawberry syrup on top.
To make the syrup:--Very simply, just blend together around 4 large strawberries, about 4 oz. (or a little less) pomegranate juice, and a small spoonful of agave nectar. Then, transfer mixture into a saucepan and heat on medium high while stirring for 5-10 minutes.
This syrup would also taste awesome on the almond pancakes I made the other day. Another great idea is to saute veggies with a little bit of POM juice in a skillet. (I've done this a couple times so far ... yum!)One of the health benefits I like the most about POM Wonderful's juice is that it has such high antioxidants. As it says on POM Wonderful's website "hundreds of scientific tests also show POM to be a superior source of antioxidants, with more and better antioxidants than red wine, grape juice, blueberry juice, cranberry juice, green tea, vitamin C and vitamin E". (And it works out great for me, because I like the taste better than red wine and all those other juices, too! ; )
I'm sure I'll be cooking more with my POM juice so there's probably more POM to come in the future!
And ... that's all for now! Today felt monotonous and I was really tired so hopefully tomorrow I'll be more chipper!! haha.
Hope you're having a great day everyone!! And go drink some POM juice!! ; )

ReplyDeleteIt's so cool to see people cooking with POM. It sounds super yummy, and good for you to boot. :-)
ReplyDeleteYou are so creative with your cooking. Sometimes I read the things you make and think to myself "I would never have thought to do that, but it sounds so good!"
ReplyDeleteOh man, keep the POM suggestions coming because I'm told I'm goign to receive a case of their juice as well and I don't know what to do with it because I'm not a juice drinker! My first thought is to put some in my seltzer, which I drink often, but yeah I will need other ideas for how to use it up! Great idea with the sauce - it sounds great.
ReplyDeleteLOVE the POM juice and your superhero logo. I drank mine all straight up within 2 days of receiving it. I'll have to restock and try some of the recipes. Yours looks great!
