    Who wouldn’t love a POM martini!! I would… that’s for sure. I would also try to make some sort of pom glaze to go over chicken or tofu!! POM me up!!!

  2. freja on November 6, 2009 at 3:31 pm

    I would like to experiment with making POM bread or muffins but a pomtini sounds pretty great too! ๐Ÿ™‚

  3. Gina G on November 6, 2009 at 3:33 pm

    i would love to make a yummy smoothie! =)

  4. Amanda on November 6, 2009 at 3:33 pm

    Mmm, Pom. Last year, I had an obsession with pomegranates. This year, I’ve gotten my fix (without the mess of disecting them) by mixing Pom juice with diet 7-up. It makes a tasty and elegant looking drink! Mmm.

    I would use the case to start drinking POM juice on a regular basis. I see it in the grocery store but don’t usually pick a bottle up because of watching my grocery spending. A case would be a great way to convince myself it is the right thing to buy ๐Ÿ™‚

    Thanks!!

    I would love to win som POM. I would add to my smoothies as well as to my banana bread recipe for some zing.

  7. Maggie on November 6, 2009 at 3:40 pm

    I’d mix it with homemade lemonade, my favorite!

  8. amber on November 6, 2009 at 3:43 pm

    I would love to try to whip up a POmtini! it looks delicious!

  9. Kristen on November 6, 2009 at 3:46 pm

    I mix my pom with sparkling water. It’s so refreshing and can take the place of a cocktail! Love POM!

  10. junghwa on November 6, 2009 at 3:59 pm

    POM juice + oats + cinnamon + water = amazing!!!

  11. Angharad (Eating for England) on November 6, 2009 at 3:59 pm

    I am all about infusing oatmeal with POM juice – sounds like a wonderful way to start the day!

  12. Ada on November 6, 2009 at 4:02 pm

    Thanks for the great giveaway!!! I would totally use the POM juice in a marinade for salmon or in a POMtini, which is the perfect drink for this underage college student;)

  13. Ashley on November 6, 2009 at 4:02 pm

    I would be using POM juice in my Green Monsters! Also I found a fantastic looking recipe that calls for pork tenderloin and POM juice. Mr Man would kiss my feet if I could combine the two!

  14. Tiffany on November 6, 2009 at 4:06 pm

    Mm POMtinis for sure! But if I have a whole case, then probably also POM in my smoothies, POM as a to-go drink, POM in my food. It’ll pretty much be used any way it can, except perhaps dying white tees.

  15. Candy on November 6, 2009 at 4:09 pm

    I LOVE Pom juice! I would use it in cooking, making salad dressings, and mostly just for drinking. What a yummy, healthy treat!

  16. Adrienne Ramsey on November 6, 2009 at 4:11 pm

    Two things- Pom viniagrette for salads, and Pom and Soda for a drink!

  17. Melissa M. on November 6, 2009 at 4:18 pm

    I would make POM Velvet cupcakes!!!! (And naturally my own version of a POMtini with a little Chambord and lime).

  18. ForTheLoveOfBerries on November 6, 2009 at 4:21 pm

    I drink Pom juice straight up ๐Ÿ™‚

  19. michelle on November 6, 2009 at 4:28 pm

    i think i would make a reduction of it then carefully make a delicious salad dressing.

  20. Kelly Michelle on November 6, 2009 at 4:29 pm

    I am dying to try one of those Pomtinis you make!

  21. EL on November 6, 2009 at 4:30 pm

    Since I am pregnant I am addicted to pom and seltzer, as a mocktail.

  22. Casper on November 6, 2009 at 4:39 pm

    I love to just drink pom juice first thing in the morning, but I would love to try baking with it.

  23. Kelly on November 6, 2009 at 4:40 pm

    I love pomegranates!! This give-away is awesome and I would take my POM juice straight up! =)

  24. Megan on November 6, 2009 at 4:48 pm

    Hmm.. maybe I could whip up a nice POM Sangria (POMgria!?!)

    -Apple chunks
    -Plum slices
    -Frozen or Fresh Berries
    -6 oz. POM Wonderful 100% Pomegranate Juice
    -6 oz. Red Wine
    -6 oz. White Wine
    -Snapple Iced Tea (the only other โ€˜juiceโ€™ we had on hand!!)

    This sounds delicious!!!!

  25. Colleen on November 6, 2009 at 4:49 pm

    i would put it in tea…hot or cold. i think it would make a delicious iced tea.

  26. Wynne on November 6, 2009 at 4:50 pm

    I love making a POM reduction sauce for salads or to drizzle over appetizers. You just break down pomegranate seeds, with the pom juice, balsamic and honey in a saucepan until you get a nice thick reduction.

    I also add POM juice into my morning smoothies – try 6 oz greek yogurt, pom juice (anywhere from 2-4 oz), 1 c. fresh or frozen organic bluebeirrues, and ice (if you don’t use frozen fruit). YUM!

  27. stacey on November 6, 2009 at 4:52 pm

    I love to use POM juice in my smoothies!

  28. Rosie on November 6, 2009 at 4:53 pm

    all over that pomtini!

    would also love it as a glaze over roasted root veggies. mmmmmm.

  29. Stacy Robinson on November 6, 2009 at 4:57 pm

    I LOVE pomegranates!! I love to put them in yogurt, but I’ve been trying to this recipe to use the juice as a marinade!

  30. Sharon on November 6, 2009 at 5:00 pm

    A Pomatini is a classic and my favorite cocktail but lately the go to recipe has been reduced pomegranate juice over homemade frozen “Pinkberry” clone yogurt.

  31. Blair on November 6, 2009 at 5:05 pm

    I just saw a recipe for pound cake with pomegranate whipped cream that looks like a delicious dessert for my next dinner party. Would love to try it out!

  32. Betsy on November 6, 2009 at 5:08 pm

    Well, a PomTini would certainly be an option. A pomagranate sorbet might be nice for the holidays, too!

  33. Holly W on November 6, 2009 at 5:21 pm

    I’m trying to kick the diet coke habit for good, and I think POM juice would help me do it!!!

  34. molly on November 6, 2009 at 5:26 pm

    Yum! I would add it to my smoothies!

  35. SuzanneRN on November 6, 2009 at 5:30 pm

    I would use my Pom in a few things– but top two that come to mind are in a mixed cocktail and in a green smoothie with mango, banana and spinach!

  36. Danielle on November 6, 2009 at 5:34 pm

    Pom screwdriver….Pom, OJ and vodka!

  37. Heather on November 6, 2009 at 5:42 pm

    Pom straight up on the rocks…YUM! Smoothies, muffins, etc. There’s no end to the possibilities!

  38. flipflopsintherain on November 6, 2009 at 5:54 pm

    what a great contest! i would add my POM to everything — smoothies, martinis, parfaits, salad dressing… yummy!

  39. Audrey on November 6, 2009 at 5:58 pm

    I’ve never had POM juice before so I’d love to try it!

  40. coley on November 6, 2009 at 6:02 pm

    POM with seltzer rocks! I also put pomagranate seeds in greek yogurt with granola… now I want some pomagranates!!!!

  41. Anna Webb on November 6, 2009 at 6:12 pm

    I would love to use the arils and make Pomegranate Pancakes! MMMmmm.

  42. Laura T on November 6, 2009 at 6:15 pm

    I would enjoy my POM straight up! I love the taste of POM and would sip it plain and delicous!

  43. Randi on November 6, 2009 at 6:23 pm

    Ohhh! I use POM juice as a marinade for the yummy BBQ-ed Pomegranate tofu I make. I also make homemade Pomegranate molasses (used in lots of Turkish recipes) by boiling down POM juice with sugar & lemon juice. You can save the syrup in use in tons of recipes!

  44. Julia on November 6, 2009 at 6:27 pm

    Ohhh! Awesome giveaway!
    I think I would make a wine mixer with POM; like, half pom, half wine (red or white) and maybe some sparkly water. That sounds yum. Or drizzle it over some ice cream. Or put ice cream in the wine mixer. Yum!

  45. Karen on November 6, 2009 at 6:27 pm

    I would use POM juice in smoothies. Yum! Thank you for doing this giveaway!

  46. Theorist on November 6, 2009 at 6:35 pm

    So many options! I would make smoothies, salad dressing, mix it with club soda, marinade tofu, …I am wondering what it would taste like in oatmeal/oatbran?

  47. Whitney on November 6, 2009 at 6:43 pm

    In a POMtini ๐Ÿ™‚

  48. Brenda on November 6, 2009 at 6:52 pm

    POMtini, of course! But I’ve also hear you can add it to green tea!

  49. Jaclyn on November 6, 2009 at 6:57 pm

    I would def rock those fitnessista-style, pomtinis! ๐Ÿ˜€

  50. Simi on November 6, 2009 at 7:10 pm

    POM smoothies are the best!!
