I've seen those cute little bottles in the juice section of our supermarket, the POM Wonderful bottles, and though I've tasted pomegranate juice before, I didn't really consider cooking with it. POM Wonderful, the leading seller of pomegranate juice and pomegranate juice blends, sent me some bottles to try out.
POM Wonderful pomegranate juice tastes tart like cranberry juice, which I enjoy. I liked adding the juice to iced tea, to add some tarty sweetness to my normally unsweetened green tea. The POM Wonderful website has so many recipes on it that use both pomegranates and their juices. I decided to whip up a dessert of fruit salad with Cream Cheese Pomegranate Fruit Dip.I started with a brick of lowfat cream cheese, 1/2 cup of powdered sugar, and a bottle of POM Wonderful.
I creamed the softened cream cheese with the sugar, mixing out all the lumps. Then I added about 1/2 cup of the pomegranate juice.
I whisked it in until the mixture was a thin sauce.
Finally, I added it to the tropical fruit salad that I made earlier in the day. It was so good!
I wish I had had a pomegranate on hand, as the seeds would have been a nice accompaniment to the sauce.I plan on making some more things with the juice, like a glaze or sauce for a savory dish. It's a nice change to our regular food repertoire around our house.
Disclosure: I received samples of POM Wonderful pomegranate juice for review purposes.

That never would have occurred to me but what a great idea!
Looks delicious! I've never seen a fruit dip before, that's really original. II'm sure the rest of the POM Community would love to know too. Just join us and post. :)
Does your son like the juice?

Yum! We love POM juice...
I've never actually tried POM but I see it a lot in the grocery store and keep wanting to. A few days ago, I saw there was a new POM.. some kind of coffee POM!
Oh, wow! I NEVER knew you could do that with juice...That is so cool :D
