I just returned from Phoenix where for the 1st time in about 20 years, I had a pomegranate. It was the size of a large grapefruit and cost $3.99 US - never paid more than $.70 Cdn. I have never seen them this big and I just had to give it a try. I now know what the 'Nectar of the Gods' is like. Give me more "trouble" - please! Wish I could grow them here in Cdn Zone 6B just north of Toronto.
 
I later purchased a regular sized one, the size of a baseball, and it was just ordinary.

How many of you are interested in pomegranates. It seems that many people think they are too much trouble to eat. They are somewhat troublesome, but some think they are worth the trouble.   The easiest  way to utilize them is to juice them with a common citrus/orange press, that's just a pressure press not the kind with the reamer as that kind will get the partation material and skin into the juice and that is bitter (tannin). There are a lot of new varieties available now and some cold hardy ones.
