I have such fond childhood memories of my maternal grandmother, Lenna Grace, sending a box of yummy pomegranates to our family each year for Thanksgiving. The area in which she lived was very conducive to growing ones with exceptional color and flavor.
If you happen to give this pasta sauce with a new twist a try, I would love to hear from you. So would my blog readers!
Happy eating in Pomegranate's Presence.
