Yeah, the first thing that came to my head, too, was using it in a sauce. Perhaps on a steak. Something savory, for sure. Mmmmm.

Oooh I’ve been wanting to try it in my green monsters. A little tart would do it wonders, I think. Thanks!

I’ll fess up and admit I’ve only ever tried it to drink, so I’d love to experiment with other uses…espescially POMtinis and in sweet treats!

I want to make pomegranate oatmeal and pomegranate vinaigrette (but not together!)

I love to make pom-sicles for my little ones… and I love a great pom-slushie for myself (that may or may not be 21 & older) :) )

It is uber-delicious in a salad marinade with fresh oj.

Katie November 6, 2009 at 9:15 am

Usually I use it in smoothies, but seeing as it is Friday anything with “-tini” at the end is sounding good!

Chrissy November 6, 2009 at 9:17 am

mmm I want to try it mixed in my oatmeal in the morning!!

Reply

Chantal November 6, 2009 at 9:17 am

I would just drink it straight up!!!

Caitlin V. November 6, 2009 at 9:18 am

I would blend it into a salad dressing with some apple cider vinegar, red onion, s&p… yum! and be sure to top the salad with fresh pom seeds!

Anne P November 6, 2009 at 9:19 am

I like POM mixed with tea :)

Reply

Jean November 6, 2009 at 9:31 am

Okay, I have to admit that I’ve never tried it, so I don’t know what I would do with it! But with a whole case, I’m sure that I could come up with lots of different things to use it.

Shannon November 6, 2009 at 9:34 am

I make a wonderful pomtini in a “Carrabas” kind of way, POM juice, splash of orage juice, shot of peach vodka & splash of diet sprite in the bottom of the glass and it is WONDERFUL! Love POM juice!!!! :)

Lisa November 6, 2009 at 9:36 am

I think I would make a POM sorbet; also a POM salad dressing for Thanksgiving.

Molly @thevegandorm November 6, 2009 at 9:36 am

I would love to use Pom in baking (vegan Pomegranate blondies, vegan Pomegranate shortcake).

Julie @savvyeats November 6, 2009 at 9:37 am

I love to drink it by itself, or in a green monster!

Reply

Julie @savvyeats November 6, 2009 at 9:38 am

I also tweeted about this: http://twitter.com/savvyeat !!

Rebecca November 6, 2009 at 9:38 am

hmmm, in a smoothie, or maybe try something new and attempt to make a salad dressing out of it!

Reply

Julie November 6, 2009 at 9:38 am

Ohhh…the pomsicle idea is great! My kids love when I do homemade juice sicles. I’m thinking I would try to make up some type of salad dressing mixture.

Reply

Kate November 6, 2009 at 9:39 am

I love pom juice mixed with OJ! Maybe used in a smoothie?

Reply

Tavolini November 6, 2009 at 9:40 am

I would use it in a salad dressing (pomegranate vinaigrette), reduce and use it in a glaze (tofu for me, over pork for Tavo), and of course I would mix it with a little rum and some fresh fruit ;)

Lauren November 6, 2009 at 9:42 am

I would LOVE to win POM juice. I would use it to make an awesome martini like you or definitely in a salad dressing!!!

Reply

Lauren November 6, 2009 at 9:43 am

Just tweeted as well!

Kyle November 6, 2009 at 9:44 am

Great giveaway! I’d love to try it in a Pom-tini! Also, I wonder if it could be added to baked goods somehow . . . pomegranate bread?

Reply

Jennifer Honess November 6, 2009 at 9:45 am

I made a beef stew with POM & red wine – sounds crazy, but it was absolutely delish!!

Reply

Nikki November 6, 2009 at 9:47 am

POMtini of Course =) YUM..IS there any other way!!??

Reply

lauren November 6, 2009 at 9:49 am

POMtinis…. boo ya :)

Reply

Ashlee November 6, 2009 at 9:51 am

I absolutely loooove POMtinis! But, on days that I don’t want to drink alcohol (and during the lunchtime hour), I like to make POM mocktails; POM juice and sparkling water. Mmmm…love it! But, I would love to try it in some desserts and dishes.

Reply

teresa November 6, 2009 at 9:52 am

Ooh I’d use it in my watermelon soup recipe. A sort of dessert soup, if you will!

Reply

Mel November 6, 2009 at 9:52 am

Pomtinis!!!! I also want to experiment with baking with POM!

Reply

Danielle November 6, 2009 at 9:53 am

Definitely POM-tini, all the way!!!

Reply

Kim November 6, 2009 at 9:55 am

I’ve never had pom juice, but I think I would love it in smoothies, mixed with sparkling water, straight up, or maybe mixed in pancake batter (that could be a big fail but could also turn out delicious!).

Reply

Kristin @ Iowa Girl Eats November 6, 2009 at 9:55 am

This may sound lame – but I would drink mine straight up! I have NEVER had POM juice, and I am dying to try some!

Reply

Lauren November 6, 2009 at 9:56 am

I would love to add the juice to my smoothies…yum!!

Reply

Maureen November 6, 2009 at 9:56 am

It’s Friday so I gotta say a POM-tini sounds amazing! It’s 5 o’clock somewhere…

Reply

maren November 6, 2009 at 9:57 am

We made a POM sorbet a couple years ago for Thanksgiving. It was great! I’d like to recreate that recipe with a few tweaks of my own. Maybe also something like a POM gelatin. POM juice as a ham glaze rather than pineapple or orange juice. OR throw some POM arils into the cornbread dressing for some tangy goodness.

Reply

Katie November 6, 2009 at 9:58 am

Definitely some mocktails:)!!!

Reply

Laura S November 6, 2009 at 9:58 am

Great Giveaway!! I would love to try your pomtini or maybe try a pom-margarita!!
