[Disclosure: This post was developed as part of my partnership with POM Wonderful, one of the sponsors of Blog Brûlée.]
The climate is (lastly) cooling down and it’s time to get into scorching cocoa, scorching cider and scorching buttered rum mode. (OK, admittedly, I’ve by no means had scorching butter rum nevertheless it simply sounds good – like butterbeer from Harry Potter books.)
This 12 months, we had been lucky to have POM Great again with us at Smugglers’ Notch as repeat Weblog Brûlée sponsor and as soon as once more they didn’t disappoint. I even realized some new enjoyable info like:
- Every 8-ounce bottle of POM Great incorporates the juice from two complete pomegranates (and nothing else.)
- Every 8-ounce bottle has a a lot potassium as a banana.
- POM Great grows, handpicks and juices all its personal pomegranates so they’re actually a farm to desk product.
- On common, POM Great incorporates 3x the antioxidants of inexperienced tea.
- The icon bottle was designed to appear to be two pomegranates on prime of one another!
As for sampling POM Great, we by some means timed it proper with serving a scrumptious glowing POM Social gathering Punch on the opening reception (with highs of 86 F that day – IN VERMONT!) However two days later, temps dropped by 30 levels which was the right climate to take pleasure in this Warmed Spiced POM Cider.
Now, I’ve solely ever had warmed apple cider just a few instances earlier than however after sampling this pomegranate juice model, recipe lightbulbs had been going off in my head. The unique recipe makes use of solely POM juice so for my model beneath I made a decision to do a real recipe mash-up and add some leftover apple cider I had within the fridge.
