Ingredients

My grenadine recipe – like the original one – has only two ingredients, pomegranate juice and sugar. That’s it!

How It’s Made

Start by pouring 4 cups (32 fluid ounces) of pomegranate juice into a medium saucepan. I use pure juice rather than juice from concentrate.

Pomegranate Tart

Virginie Wiggins is back to share her pomegranate tartlets recipe. Not only did she write this post and let me try her delicious tartlets, but she let Myles play at her house with her boys while Jonathan took photos of the tartlets. She’s the best! I hope you love her tartlets as much as I do.

I am a bit of a health freak. And, here I am posting on Cupcake Project, baking blog, epicurean heaven. I don’t think the two are incompatible. To me, chocolate = magnesium. Custard = proteins. Fruit tarts = vitamin C. Yes, eating dessert can make you healthier!

I couldn’t have said it better myself. But what kind of dance? I’d say a Lindy Hop. The sweetness of PAMA Pomegranate Liqueur combined with the tangy sourness of mint*, rum, and lime reminds me of a high energy couple bouncing around the dance floor, occasionally doing flips and throws to the thrill of the crowd (perhaps I have an overactive imagination).

Cooking With PAMA

I made these pomegranate mojito cupcakes as an entry into the Cooking with PAMA Contest. If I win When I win, I get to go to the Food and Wine Classic in Aspen! I wanted to wait until I had a cupcake that I really thought could win before entering – this pomegranate mojito cupcake is it!

Update: I didn’t win.  But, it was sure fun trying!
