Hi there,

Loooooong time lurker needs help. I am a City person who is so proud of my tiny new garden that had three tomato plants this Summer and now pleased with my pomegranate bush that gave us 16 pomegranates.

We ate a few straightaway and now have a big bowl of the berries to juice. Question is, what is the best way to do that? I would like to freeze the juice for smoothies throughout the Winter.

I am in awe of you folks that grow so many things. I am now trying kale, chard, and spinach. This is all so new to me and it makes me very happy, but I didn't grow up around this sort of thing so it is truly a learning experience for me.

Any help you can give me would be so appreciated.

Here's the best method I know of:

My long dead Aunt had several pomegranate bushes in her backyard, have
fond memories of eating the arils with seed and juice. We can grow the
bushes here in Houston, TX area but just don't have enough room.

Hi George,

Thanks so much. We ended up using one of the suggestions, we mashed them in a sieve. I think next year I will just cut them in half and use an old Rival juicer.

I appreciate your quick response. Good luck with all your planting, harvesting, canning, and cooking!
