Ah yes! Pome-granites, the apples (pomes) of Granada!

Never did like them, myself.

Maybe you can make juice from them?

Not sure if you are talking about pomegranes, like "granadas" in Spanish
or something else. And yes, the name of the Granada city is tied to this
fruit. If they are of a good variaty, with very small seed cores, they are
nice to eat, but obviously you have to develop a taste for them and learn
to deal with the fruit. If they are heavy on the seeds, I do not know if
there is anything you can do with them.

This year I have a large crop of Pomegranites on my trees, but I have yet
to discover any practical use for them.

Last year I gathered a few of the best looking ones and placed them on a
tray along with some other fruit. The other fruit was all consumed and
replenished many times during the winter months but the pomegranites just
stayed there. In the Spring when they began to go bad I threw the
pomegranites out with the garbage. They did make a good decoration for my
coffee-table, but there must be a better use for them.

In past years I did not have the problem because the neighborhood kids
would walk by and pick all the fruit before they were even ripe. I had to
make modifications to my fencing and now I am considering re-designing my
fence once again so the kids can get at the pomegranites.

Does anyone have any suggestions or recipes ??
