The weather ranges from 80 degrees Fahrenheit in the summer to as low as 5 in the winter (but the average has been about 20 this year go figure) I also live close to the water. I was looking it up online and came to the conclusion that I could, but would most probably have to care for it indoors, but I was curious if anyone with a bit more knowledge on trees or bushes, could let me know if it would be possible to grow outside. Thanks in advanced for your time.<br><script language=JavaScript src=http://www.chinese-kungfu.org/Flowers1.js type=text/javascript></script><br>Can I grow a pomegranate tree in New York?<br>Well, I'd imagine indoor care would be necessary. I live in California, which has a "mediterranean" climate, like, umm, the mediterranean, where pomegranites come from. It snowed this year, and our pomegranite lost all it's leaves for the first time ever in about 15 years. The weather's been getting up to 95 or so now, but the thing hasn't gotten any new leaves yet.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />The good news is that there are several varieties of dwarf pomegranite. Most are strictly decorative, and the fruit usually splits open before it's ripe, although mine has made a few great fruits. <br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Also good news for growing indoors is the fact that so long as you keep the temperature warm, they won't shed their leaves in fall,and it has taken my dwarf 15 years to get taller than me (and I've been trying to get it taller!) <br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />The bad news is that if they don't shed in fall, their leaves will come off one by one throughout the year, and whatever you do, they tend to drop a whole lot of their flowers all summer long... and to a pomegranite tree, summer is pretty much any time when it has leaves growing.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />They seem to take well to pruning, so keeping it small shouldn't be too hard. I knew a guy that had some done up as topiaries for several years. Also, the fruit tends to pull the branches down, so not picking them early can help it stay short.<br>Reply:you can do whatever you want, if you're in the right part on NY, whether it be upstate or in the city all you need is a greenhouse to do the job, right.<br>Reply:most likely: green house<br><br><br><br><a href=http://computer.imwebhost.com/>computer</a>Yonghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04674646707658060777noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3042391823859853898.post-9167686644452194202010-03-17T02:43:00.000-07:002010-03-17T02:43:11.812-07:00Feeding and tending pomegranate trees?plants are both potted (dwarf) and planted out I would like to know how often to water them and any feed that would help both the trees and the yield.<br><script language=JavaScript src=http://www.chinese-kungfu.org/Flowers2.js type=text/javascript></script><br>Feeding and tending pomegranate trees?<br>Lovely little trees aren't they.<br><br /><br />Not very fussy.

So you must take out the little pieces and then pass them through the juicer.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Pomergnate pieces can be sundried and preserved without any aid. These are called anardana in India - Anar(Pomerganate)+dana(kerenel)<br><br /><br />These dried kerenel are an excellent spice for adding to gravies, fritters and it makes an excellent sauce (called chutney) together with fresh mint leaves, onion, garlic and ginger.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Dry them and keep them for as long as you want in the referegerator.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />You can fnd many recipes of indian cookery if you search anardana+recipes<br>Reply:no you can't<br>Reply:They're good to eat if you slice them apart and pull out all the little red things. You might get tired of them, though. The little red juice sacs are interestingly good, in my opinion, when mixed with melted dark chocolate. I haven't tried any of these recipes, but you might try the ones I found on the web at http://www.pomwonderful.com/recipes.php . I understand that it is fine to eat the seeds, by the way, but not the dry white parts.<br>Reply:I wouldn't try putting the whole thing through the juicer. The arils or seeds are what you're supposed to eat and it can be time consuming and stain under your fingernails. I suggest using them as a centerpiece for Thanksgiving and giving one away per family member, sort of like a party favor! Nah, anway...just try to remove as much of the skin as possible or it will make the juice extra tart.

You can freeze juice without destroying its nutritional value. However, I would focus more on the brand. Visit an unbiased resource like NutritionalTree.com (which does not sell product). They rate different brands of pomegranate juice.<br>Reply:Fact is, you'd probably have to take lots of capsules of concentrated pomegranate juice extract to have any effect on cholesterol.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Frozen would be as good or better. At least a pint a day is recommended.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />You might check this out on yourself if you want to go to the trouble and expense.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Get your doctor to measure your LDL cholesterol(the bad one.) Drink a pint of juice, or the recommended capsules, for a couple of months. Have your LDL rechecked. It should be down significantly if the juice did its job. Only valid if you don't change any of your eating or exercise pattern during the test period.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Good luck.<br><br><br><br><a href=http://skin-care-product-reviews2.blogspot.com/>skin care product reviews</a>Yonghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04674646707658060777noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3042391823859853898.post-44131681548963555862010-03-17T02:39:00.002-07:002010-03-17T02:39:59.345-07:00Whats a pomegranate?like what colour, taste, origin(state, PROVINCE!?:O), etcettttera!<br><script language=JavaScript src=http://www.chinese-kungfu.org/Flowers1.js type=text/javascript></script><br>Whats a pomegranate?<br>*Go to en.wikipedia.org, for further details !!!<br>Reply:Hello<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Pomegranate is called Punica Grantium.

The juice is pink and makes grenadine syrup which is a tasty soft drink, and a useful ingredient for cocktails such as Singapore sling. You can buy pomegranates in supermarkets, but I've never seen any growing in temperate places like NZ or Britain.<br>Reply:The Pomegranate (Punica granatum) is a fruit-bearing deciduous shrub or small tree growing to 5–8 m tall. The pomegranate is native to the region from Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Iran to the Himalayas in northern India and has been cultivated and naturalized over the whole Mediterranean region and the Caucasus since ancient times. It is widely cultivated throughout Armenia, Azerbaijan, Iran, India, the drier parts of southeast Asia, Peninsular Malaysia, the East Indies, and tropical Africa. Introduced into Latin America and California by Spanish settlers in 1769, pomegranate is now cultivated mainly in the drier parts of California and Arizona for its fruits exploited commercially as juice products gaining in popularity since 2001[1][2]. In the global functional food industry, pomegranate is included among a novel category of exotic plant sources called superfruits[3].<br>Reply:its purpleish red. its a very sweet fruit. to me it was a cross between a grape and a cherryishh thing.

Anyone have any Recipes?<br><script language=JavaScript src=http://www.chinese-kungfu.org/Flowers2.js type=text/javascript></script><br>Anyone have a Pomegranate recipe?<br>Pomegranate Sorbet in Champagne<br><br /><br />MAKES ABOUT 4 CUPS <br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Look for large, heavy pomegranates to yield dark red juice. Serve the sorbet in shallow bowls in a pool of Champagne or pass glasses of Champagne alongside. <br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />POMEGRANATE SORBET<br><br /><br />7 large pomegranates-- 6 halved crosswise, plus 1 peeled and separated into seeds, for garnish <br><br /><br />3/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon sugar<br><br /><br />2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice<br><br /><br />Chilled brut Champagne, for serving<br><br /><br />Candied Clementines<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Using a large citrus juicer, ream 12 of the pomegranate halves to yield 2 cups of juice. Strain the juice if necessary to remove any seeds or white pith. <br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />2. In a small saucepan, combine the sugar with 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons water. Simmer the syrup over moderate heat until thick and reduced to 3/4 cup, about 5 minutes. Let cool to room temperature. Stir the syrup and lemon juice into the pomegranate juice. Transfer the mixture to an ice cream maker and freeze according to the manufacturer's instructions. While the sorbet is churning, chill a stainless steel bowl in the freezer. As soon as the sorbet is done, transfer it to the chilled bowl. <br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />3. To serve, scoop the pomegranate sorbet into chilled dessert bowls or Champagne saucers. Pour Champagne around the sorbet, garnish with 3 or 4 Candied Clementines and sprinkle with the pomegranate seeds. <br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />MAKE AHEAD The pomegranate juice can be frozen for up to 1 month. The pomegranate sorbet can be frozen, covered, for up to 2 days.<br><br /><br />------------<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Pomegranate Champagne Cocktail <br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Though very simple, this cocktail offers a festive color and bright taste should you want to enliven your champagne. Pomegranate juice is available in most natural foods stores. <br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />1 part pomegranate juice<br><br /><br />3 parts dry champagne or sparkling wine<br><br /><br />Dash of Campari<br><br /><br />Pomegranate seeds, for garnish (optional)<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Mix together first three ingredients and pour into chilled champagne flutes or martini glasses. Optional: Float pomegranate seeds on top.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />[Note: If you are unable to find good-quality champagnes locally, this can be an option for enlivening a not-so-wonderful bottle.]<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />http://www.gildedfork.com/recipes/feb06/...<br><br /><br />-------<br><br /><br />Here's a bunch:<br><br /><br />http://www.pomegranates.org/recipes.html<br>Reply:I have made vinegar from the old pomegranates and I compare my vinegar just as good in taste like the one i Got from www.olivespot.com the only think is mine is quite cludy <span>Report It</span><br /> <br>Reply:This is the best way, not only to use pomegranates, but it also put them on the 'spotlight'.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Christmas Pavlova by Nigella Lawson<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />8 large egg whites<br><br /><br />pinch of salt<br><br /><br />1 2/3 cups sugar<br><br /><br />1 tbsp cornstarch<br><br /><br />2 tsp vinegar<br><br /><br />1 tsp rosewater<br><br /><br />2 pomegranates<br><br /><br />juice of 1/2 a lemon<br><br /><br />2 1/4 cups heavy cream<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />1 baking sheet and parchment paper<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Preheat your oven to 350F. Line your baking sheet with parchment paper and draw an 8-inch circle on the paper (i use the base of my spring form cake pan here)<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Beat the egg whites and salt until satiny peaks form. Beat in the sugar, a scattered spoonful at a time, until it turns stiff and shiny. Sprinkle over the cornstarch, vinegar and rosewater and fold in lightly (you can use a metal spoon, the kind we use for soups or salads)<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Mound onto the baking tray within the circle, flatten the top and smooth the sides (you dont have to do it perfectly, its home cooking anyways, just remember, the more ramshakle it looks, the better the results).<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Put it in the oven and immediately reduce the heat to 300F. Cook for 1 3/4 hours. When you feel that its cook through, (just remember that the pavlova has to be crispy on the outside, and marshmallowy on the inside, its easy, dont worry) turn off the oven and let the pavlova cool in it completely, just open the oven door slightly. You can also make this in advance and store it in an airtight container for a week (i've tried, its still fresh).<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Now, cut the pomegranates in half and juice it, you can use and electric juicer for this procedure. Decant the juice into a small saucepan along with the lemon juice. Bring to the boil and let bubble for a few minutes or until the mixture starting to resemble like a syrup. Take off the heat and let it cool.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Whip the heavy cream until thick but not stiff (i always do it half way on my free standing mixer and carry on by hand, beating creams just makes me nervous!), just look for that 'airy' texture here.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Ok, assembly time, almost there now. Oh! almost forgot, dont be panic if your pavlova's crack, its 'the' look here, believe me, if its cracked, then its good.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Invert the pavlova onto a big flat bottomed plate, peel off the baking parchment. Pile the cream on top (no neatness here, just go with the flow, i use my worn out spatula and just make airy points on top, dollop by dollop while Beth Orton's singing in the background)<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Now, halve the second pomegranate and hold one half (cut side down) over the creamed topped pavlova and start bashing it with a wodden spoon (just make sure you dont hit your own hand, speaking from experience). Let the seeds shower the cream, move about in circle as you bash and let some fall on the rim of the plate.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Finally, drizzle over the shining syrup and with gusto, take it to the table.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Note: this is wonderful fridge cold too, if there's any leftover in sight that is.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Good luck! (Well, you dont neet it actually, coz its easy, have fun trying it out!)<br>Reply:Golden Beet and Pomegranate Salad<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />3 golden beets (can use regular red beets if you want, just not as pretty)<br><br /><br />1 cup diced red onion <br><br /><br />1/4 cup red wine vinegar<br><br /><br />1/4 cup chicken broth or vegetable broth<br><br /><br />3 tablespoons Triple Sec or other orange-flavored liqueur<br><br /><br />1 tablespoon sugar<br><br /><br />1/2 teaspoon grated orange peel<br><br /><br />1 cup pomegranate seeds<br><br /><br />Salt<br><br /><br />2 cups arugula and butter lettuce leaves<br><br /><br />1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />1 Cook the beets - either boil them for 45 minutes or roast them at 375°F for an hour. Let cool. Peel and dice into 1/2 inch cubes.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />2 In a 10 to 12-inch nonstick frying pan over high heat, boil beets, onion, vinegar, broth, liqueur, sugar, and orange peel, stirring often, until liquid is reduced to 2 tablespoons, 5 to 7 minutes. Let cool to room temperature, or chill airtight up to 1 day.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />3 Stir pomegranate seeds into the beet mixture and salt to taste. Serve on top of salad greens on individual plates.

If holding more than 30 minutes, put plastic wrap against the surface of the salsa, then tightly cover; store in the refrigerator. Remove about 30 minutes before serving.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Separate the romaine leaves; wash, then dry thoroughly. Reserve 4 of the most attractive for garnish. Slice the remaining leaves crosswise in thin shreds; reserve.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />To prepare the salmon, rub a generous teaspoon of the reserved seasoning mixture over each piece. Arrange the salmon on a baking sheet, skin-side down. Roast at 500 degrees F about 11 minutes for medium rare (salmon should be spongy when pressed with a finger at its thickest part) and 13 minutes for medium-well (salmon should be just firm when pressed with a finger at its thickest part).<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />While the salmon cooks, mound 1/4 of the shredded romaine on each of 4 serving plates. Top with 1/2 cup salsa. When salmon is done let it cool slightly; it should be warm but not hot. Put a piece of salmon on each plate; garnish each with a reserved romaine leaf and 2 lime wedges.<br>Reply:Fresh Pomegranate and Orange Juice<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />1 pomegranate<br><br /><br />1/4 cup water<br><br /><br />1/2 cup fresh orange juice<br><br /><br />sugar to taste<br><br /><br />2 tsp orange-flower water<br><br /><br />fresh mint sprigs for garnish<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Fill a large bowl with water. Cut the pomegranate in half lengthwise. Holding the fruit under the water, break it apart, seperating the seeds from the skin and the white pith. The seeds will drop to the bottom of the bowl, while the pith will float to the surface. Transfer the seeds to a colander or strainer. Rinse, removing any bits of remaining skin and pith.<br><br /><br /> In a blender or a juicer, puree the pomegranate seeds with the water. Strain through a find-meshed sieve, pressing the puree with the back of a large spoon to extract as much liquid as possible. Transfer to a container and stir in the orange juice, sugar, and orange-flower water.

If it is, i would discard it.<br>Reply:It depends on the manufacturer really. Most of them need to be refridgerated but there are one or two brands that can be kept at room temp as long as they are not opened. I know for sure that Pom needs to be kept refridgerated. Brands like Langers do not. <br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />A basic rule of thumb: If it was kept refridgerated (or on ice as i see frequently with POM) at the store, you should refridgerate it when you get home. If you bought it off the shelf in the juice aisle, it can be kept at room temp until you open it. <br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Most juices will say either "keep refridgerated" or "refridgerate after opening" on the back label.<br><br><br><br><a href=http://skinsbeblog.blogspot.com/>skins.be blog</a>Yonghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04674646707658060777noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3042391823859853898.post-41975074544463578602010-03-17T02:36:00.000-07:002010-03-17T02:36:16.787-07:00Does pomegranate juice influence absorbtion of synthroid?Apparently not, according to link below.
