Wheelbarrow full of bloody red sunshine
These pomegranates really do have the flavor of a warm fall day, sweet and juicy and just a bit tart. Luckily I managed to bring some of this sunshine home with me to San Francisco, because there is not much here to go around. I came from sunny, hot, dry and smoky Southern California to chilly, damp and gray San Francisco in just over an hour on Sunday. Five of the seven pomegranates I tucked into my baggage made it back intact, the other two having been impaled on something sharp in my bag.
We picked these pomegranates off a tree in my parents' yard. That's the fruit off just one of their two trees, and what you see above isn't even all of it. They will be squeezed with a citrus juicer and made into jelly next weekend.
Pomegranates cost about $2 each in these parts, so that there is a fortune in fruit.
