I was fortunate enough to be selected by POM Wonderful to host a POM Dinner Party this week. POM was so gracious and sent me two cases of gorgeous pomegranates to help with my menu. Let me tell you these were the BEST pomegranates that I have ever tasted. For my dinner party I incorporated pomegranates into each item I created. I also created a lovely tablescape.
{the table scape: i used pomegranates as place cards}
How to cut a Pomegranate
{while waiting for dinner, guest munched on pomegranate brittle.}
{Appetizer: Bacon wrapped shrimp with a pomegranate glaze}
{Salad: spinach, mandarin oranges, pomegranate arils, slivered almonds and poppyseed dressing}
{Cocktail: a POMtini}
{The main course}
{buttermilk biscuits with pomegranate butter}
{chicken orzo with pomegranate arils}
{and pineapple clove boneless pork ribs with a sweet and tangy pomegranate barbecue sauce}
{Dessert: homemade vanilla ice cream with a pomegranate honey glaze, slivered almonds and pomegranate arils}

ReplyDeletei absolutely love pomegranates and never knew there were so many ways to use them. pomegranate butter? that sounds pretty awesome! I have always loved the seeds on my salads (tho that's not near as cool).
ReplyDeleteHow awesome girl!! Everything looks so good and so pretty! Wish I was there to enjoy that dinner! Loving the pomtini, I need to make that!
ReplyDeleteSnowmen are the best!
Also I got an email from you but accidently deleted it before reading : ( I think it was in response to asking where you lived that one comment, saying that it looked like where my fiance I lived when I was living there, so didnt want you to think I ignored you, just didnt get to read the email!
This dinner looks delicious!
ReplyDeleteI love the pomegranates as place cards.
Pomtini looks absolutely delish!
Using a pomegranate as a place card is brilliant! Guests are even able to take them home as favors and enjoy them.
