[Disclosure: This post was developed as part of my partnership with POM Wonderful, one of the sponsors of Blog Brûlée.]
The climate is (lastly) cooling down and it’s time to get into scorching cocoa, scorching cider and scorching buttered rum mode. (OK, admittedly, I’ve by no means had scorching butter rum however it simply sounds good – like butterbeer from Harry Potter books.)
This 12 months, we have been lucky to have POM Great again with us at Smugglers’ Notch as repeat Weblog Brûlée sponsor and as soon as once more they didn’t disappoint. I even realized some new enjoyable info like:
- Every 8-ounce bottle of POM Great comprises the juice from two entire pomegranates (and nothing else.)
- Every 8-ounce bottle has a a lot potassium as a banana.
- POM Great grows, handpicks and juices all its personal pomegranates so they’re really a farm to desk product.
- On common, POM Great comprises 3x the antioxidants of inexperienced tea.
- The icon bottle was designed to appear to be two pomegranates on prime of one another!
As for sampling POM Great, we someway timed it proper with serving a scrumptious glowing POM Occasion Punch on the opening reception (with highs of 86 F that day – IN VERMONT!) However two days later, temps dropped by 30 levels which was the right climate to take pleasure in this Warmed Spiced POM Cider.
Now, I’ve solely ever had warmed apple cider a couple of occasions earlier than however after sampling this pomegranate juice model, recipe lightbulbs have been going off in my head. The unique recipe makes use of solely POM juice so for my model beneath I made a decision to do a real recipe mash-up and add some leftover apple cider I had within the fridge.

I additionally made this within the gradual cooker – which is ironic as a result of I don’t use my Crockpot all that usually (I have a tendency use it much less for meals and extra for Wholesome Kitchen Hacks like making caramelized onions or in a single day cooked oats.)
However that is the right technique to hold your POM cider drink heat, particularly when serving to a crowd. We’re having individuals over for a potluck dinner on Halloween earlier than trick or treating and my gradual cooker can be on heat with a ladle, mugs and a bowl of pomegranate arils for garnish beside it.
