They are such a jewel of a fruit. Here are ones I saw today in Portugal growing by the walls of a 12th century castle. My Pom pix are from all over the world

It’s National Pomegranate Month and the “official” (well for me anyway) celebratory dessert is this pomegranate meringue pie from my @jewishsf.bsky.social recipe archives. jweekly.com/2020/06/19/a...

My latest in @jewishsf.bsky.social packs pilaf in a pumpkin shell and I guarantee you’ll eat very well. (Also, how great would this be at Thanksgiving?!)

Recipe testing a crunchy, creamy, chocolatey shredded phyllo pastry for an upcoming @jewishsf.bsky.social recipe column. It’s filled with pistachios and coconut-hazelnut cream and has a spiced sugar syrup. A very special (and easy) dessert

The way things are going, could it hurt to make sure your year gets all the sweetness you deserve? So amp up your apple & honey consumption (some of you maybe by the bushel and quart)

Go to www.nivmag.com/articles/app... for sweet and spicy popcorn & grilled apple crumble recipes for Rosh Hashanah

Yes you want it. You carrot deny it.

Sumptuous roasted carrots drenched in garlic, olive oil and lemon juice with seasonings and sea salt with tahini drizzle.

Still in recipe testing but I had to share the basic recipe outline in comments

Still more cheesecake for you. This one is layered inside a baklava. So a two-for-one dessert. From my @jewishsf.bsky.social recipe column jweekly.com/2023/11/30/b...

First up in my cheesecake extravaganza is a non cheese cheesecake (since everyone should enjoy something rich and creamy). This vegan tahini “cheesecake” has a pistachio base. From Tahini & Turmeric cookbook as seen in @jewishsf.bsky.social
