Pomegranates

Did you know that Pomegranates grow in Texas? I had no idea until this past Sunday. But then again, I also didn't know that pears, pecans and cotton also grew here! See, I am getting an education too!! Anyway, this past Sunday we enjoyed lunch with the Rainwaters out in Benjamin. And they have a pomegranate tree in their backyard. So we came home with a couple pieces to try. Another interesting fact about pomegranates - their juice was originally used in Grenadine (today it's mostly made of high-fructose corn syrup, water, and citric acid base.) This is a picture of the tree we picked the fruit from.
