Mango Pomegranate Punch Recipes

POMEGRANATE PARTY PUNCH

Steps:

• In a large bowl or pitcher mix the carbonated drink (or sparkling wine if making an alcohol-friendly version) with the pomegranate juice and sugar. Add sugar slowly if using carbonated drinks in case it bubbles up. Stir until the sugar dissolves.
• Add the orange slices and pomegranate arils. Mix again.
• Right before serving add the ice.
• At the last minute add the mint. It will over-power your drink if you add it too soon. Stir well.
• Serve with a big old pomegranate party punch loving smile!

MANGO POMEGRANATE CHUTNEY

Steps:

• Using the blade of a sharp knife, cut about 1/4 inch deep into the skin of the pomegranate, careful not to cut through the seeds. Cut all the way around the perimeter of the pomegranate.
• Twist the halves of the pomegranate apart. If they don't separate, cut around the perimeter again until they do.
• Hold one half of the pomegranate over your cook pan with the seeds facing down, and firmly tap the back of pomegranate with a meat mallet or something similar. The seeds will start to fall into the pan. Rotate the pomegranate to get as many of the seeds as possible out as you do this.
• Remove the white membrane from inside the pomegranate half to loosen the remaining seeds. Also remove any membrane fragments that fall into the pan. Repeat with the other half of the pomegranate.
• Place all remaining ingredients in the pan. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, and simmer until thick, about 30 minutes, stirring frequently to keep from sticking.
• Store, refrigerated, in an airtight container.
