This year was good , almost too good. There were so many fruits that I had to think twice and stake every branch. You see the tree with about 20% left, the sun was creating a nice view and I couldn’t resist to take a photo.
This year the fruit was also sweeter as I remember.
Very good quality as expected.

Beautifully shaped tree! Cannot wait to taste mine. Hopefully next season

Picked up all you see on the photos today. All poms are ripe.
Now, what do I do with so many??

What I plan on doing when I have too much to consume fresh is to can them, I have bought a jar of pomegranate arils in pomegranate juice at markdown, they were imported from Turkey and the best if used by date is still about 2 years away. There appears to be no preservatives in it. I have not tried them yet, although if they are the acidic kind of pomegranates, acidity is a preservative to some extent.

This kind of scares me knowing the number of trees that I'm growing lol. I have thought quite a bit though about what to do when I get too many poms. Juicing immediately comes to mind, you could even ferment it to preserve it longer or infuse it in kombucha. As for the arils, I was thinking that they could probably be blended and used as grains for bread, granola, or an attempt at an oatmeal base. That's kind of my plan a few years down the road when the harvests start coming in huge.

Thanks, guys !
We made a smoothie yesterday with bananas, strawberries, pomegranates, and yogurt. It was seriously delicious!
My little son said that would be favorite breakfast from now on.
