Hello out there! I've been a little incognito lately... but luckily I'm just in time for some fun holiday recipes! :o)
Fresh pomegranates are abundant in the States this time of year...but sometimes it's hard to figure out what to do with them...
So here's a festive holiday dip that uses fresh pomegranate...and it's really simple to put together. The flavor ranges from sweet, to tangy, to spicy, and the pomegranate seeds provide a nice crunch.
Not sure how to remove pomegranate seeds without making a mess? No worries, all is explained in my pomegranate post from earlier this year. :)
I hope you give this dip a try!
Pomegranate-Berry Cheese Dip
4 oz cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup chunky blue cheese dressing
2 tablespoons seedless raspberry jam
1 tablespoon worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon red wine vinegar or lemon juice
2 scallions, finely chopped
4-6 drops chipotle tabasco sauce
1/3 cup fresh pomegranate seeds, plus some for garnish
In a small bowl, whisk the cream cheese, blue cheese dressing and raspberry preserves together until smooth. Stir in the worcestershire sauce, vinegar, scallions, and chipotle.
Then, gently fold in the pomegranate seeds. Garnish with extra pomegranate and scallion if desired.
Serve with crackers and/or crunchy raw veggies.
Enjoy!
Happy Thanksgiving!!!!

This looks and sounds soooo delicious
Here is a good way to get the seeds:
make an incision a couple of millimeters deep, all the around the fruit (north to south). put the entire fruit under water and pull the two halves apart. as long as you keep it under water, even a bursting seed won't be a problem. The water also helps separate the pith from the seeds.
This looks very interesting. The flavor combinations and the color really intrigue me.
I purchased some pomegrantates and have been using them in everything from frozen yogurt to fruit salad to teach to marinades.
They're too pricey to use just once.
This dip sounds really nice.
