When my brother Eric visited last week, he brought several crates of produce from the home farm in Reedley.  Valencia juice oranges, tangerines, walnuts, persimmons, grapes and pomegranates.  I miss our fall harvest.  He also brought a few treats from SunMaid, which is near our home.  All of these treats remind me of my childhood and make me happy.

In case you were wondering about the best way to eat a pomegranate, here’s my favorite way:  break open and seed the pomegranate, removing all of the dividing section pieces, put the seeds in a bowl and add broken walnuts.  When you eat the seeds with walnuts, you hardly notice the pomegranate seeds–it all just tastes nutty and DELICIOUS!  Enjoy!
