The first pomegranate from the tree.

After much hesitation I picked one I think is ripe.

Isn't it a beauty!

To be cut later today, to confirm.

Behold! The fruit of the pomegranate πŸ˜„

200g of pomegranate arils. Medium pomegranates sell for around $6 atm, and this one was LARGE. (Pic in thread.) Even more πŸ’° for "seeded" pomegranates.

The taste of this one? Sweet, with a tang. It would have probably benefited from more time on the tree, but it is my first ever pomegranate so am still learning how to judge the ripeness.

Still, it is very nice and I am making a week's worth of chia puddings to go with the pomegranate.

There are lots of things to make with pomegranates, and I'll be making some throughout the pomegranate season. Particularly Middle Eastern dishes.

I am so enjoying the pomegranate. I thought the tartness might not be so enjoyable but it was excellent in the garden greens, walnuts and avocado salad last night (pomegranates and walnuts have a natural affinity) and on the chia pudding this morning was fabulous.

I have put some in the last of a store-bought bottle of vinegar to infuse. It has made the vinegar a lovely pink shade already. ❀️
