Pomegranates, please!<\/b><\/h3>\n

The pomegranate is a beautiful and slightly quirky superfruit, rich in antioxidants and perfect for any season. But it really shines during the holidays \u2014 those ruby red seeds add festive colour and bright, tart flavour to salads, desserts, and side dishes. In some cultures, the pomegranate symbolizes prosperity and good health. Who wouldn\u2019t want to end the year\u2014and start a new one\u2014with those kinds of vibes?<\/span><\/p>\n

Can a fruit be historic? Absolutely. Pomegranates have been cultivated for thousands of years, originally from the region stretching from modern-day Iran to Northern India. They thrive in hot, dry climates, making them a popular crop around the globe. In Canada and the U.S., California leads the way in pomegranate production, thanks to its Mediterranean-like conditions.<\/span><\/p>\n

Thinking of going all-in on a pomegranate-themed dinner party? We say go for it. Here are a few fun and festive ideas:<\/span><\/p>\n

Pomegranate Juice Cocktail or Mocktail<\/b>
\n<\/b> Sub pomegranate juice for cranberry juice in a classic vodka cranberry or mix it with sparkling water for a non-alcoholic version. Add a sprig of thyme or rosemary for a Christmas-ready drink.<\/span><\/p>\n

Pomegranate Parfait<\/b>
\n<\/b> Layer custard and pomegranate arils in pretty dessert glasses. Top with crumbled cookies for an easy sweet-and-tart holiday treat.<\/span><\/p>\n

Pomegranate Guacamole<\/b>
\n<\/b> Yes, really! Stir pomegranate arils into your guac for a pop of sweet-tart flavour with each creamy, avocado-packed bite.<\/span><\/p>\n

Pomegranate Bark<\/b>
\n<\/b> Trade out the peppermint and mix pomegranate arils (and a pinch of sea salt, if you like) into melted dark chocolate for a fun twist on a festive favourite.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
