We moved house last week from a cookie cutter tract home  to a farm house on 2 1/2  half acres.

Exploring our property has been quite the adventure!  Out buildings, an actual outhouse ,  fruit trees including walnut, persimmon and pomegranates.

We will be raising chickens , a small sheep , 4 dogs , 2 barn cats ,and  a potbelly pig if I can convince my husband.

I picked up a 20 to 30 pomegranates and went to Pinterest to figure out what to do with them ,  deciding finally on syrup.

Some say that it wasn’t an apple that Eve offered Adam, but a pomegranate , and with the ‘seed’ and plentiful sweet juice, it wouldn’t surprise me one bit

Deseeding the pomegranates was a chore with pink splatters all over the kitchen.  My preferred method was to cut them in half  and hit them on the back with a wooden spoon.

The little gems fell into a tub of water I had below.  I then placed them into a Ziploc bag removing most of the air, and crushed them with a rolling pin.

My 20 to 30 pomegranates yielded 2 cups of juice.  I added a quarter cup of sugar and a squeeze of lemon juice, brought it to a boil and then simmered for 25 minutes.

I ended up with about half a cup of syrup.

Next was the tasting. I opened a bottle of Prosecco, poured a glass and a splash of the syrup with a few pomegranate seeds for decoration.

Result, I made a’ pomosa’ and  it was delicious !!

Cheers! Welcome to farm life and all the joy it will bring.
