Cocktails Holiday winter fruit holiday cocktails • bountyseason’s Celebrate the fruits of winter in your holiday cocktails. Cranberry, pomegranate, citrus—there’s nothing quite like the bright, punchy flavors of winter fruits. Holiday cocktails often lean heavily on the deep flavors of dried or distilled fruits, but we asked eight bartenders to raid their produce markets and infuse the season’s freshest flavors into some extraordinary cocktails. The results—from a fig-sweetened rum cocktail to a kumquat-kissed twist on the Sidecar—are sure to make your holidays bright. Photos by LARA FERRONI the softer side One part sweet with just a touch of tang, peak- season Meyer lemons add a bright burst of pucker- free flavor to this mix of bourbon, orgeat and bitters from Indiana-based bartender Colin Boilini. “It’s the kind of cocktail you can serve throughout a party since it’s subtle enough to sip as an aperitif, but with a bright Meyer lemon acidity that also cuts through the richness of a big holiday feast,” says Boilini. 2 oz. bourbon ¾ oz. fresh Meyer lemon juice ½ oz. orgeat ¼ oz. simple syrup (1:1) 3 drops orange flower water 2 dashes Angostura bitters Tools: shaker, strainer, fine strainer Glass: cocktail Garnish: Meyer lemon twist Combine all ingredients and shake with ice cubes.

  • POMEGRANATE Did You Know: Breaking Into a Pomegranate Will Reward You with Hundreds of Tiny Seeds (Called Arils) Surrounded by a Translucent Pith
    TRY THIS: POMEGRANATE Did you know: breaking into a pomegranate will reward you with hundreds of tiny seeds (called arils) surrounded by a translucent pith. The arils are sweet and juice-packed with a white crunchy seed inside. Most people eat the whole aril, including the fiber-rich seed, but you can also spit the seed out. Pomegranates are an excellent source of fiber, vitamin C and K, also packing in a good source of potassium, folate, and copper. Give them a try- they are easy to use and their taste won’t disappoint. How to: Pick it: Choose pomegranates that are plump, round, heavy for their size, and have a glossy, deep red skin. Store it: Store it in a cool dry cupboard to stay fresh for several weeks or in your fridge for up to 2 months Use it: To free the tiny seeds and avoid spraying yourself with the seed’s juice place a halved or quartered pomegranate in a bowl of water. Once in the water, simply use your fingers to loosen the red seeds. The seeds will sink, the white pith floats. Enjoy the seeds by popping a few in your mouth, topping onto salads or yogurt, or trying one of the recipes below! When it’s in season: August to January POMEGRANATE CHICKEN SALAD POMEGRANATE SALSA Servings: 6 Servings: about 10 Ingredients: Ingredients: 1 c. canned pineapple tidbits, drained, juice reserved 1 ¾ c. pomegranate seeds (from 2 pomegranates) 3 c. cooked chicken, diced 1/3 c. 100% pomegranate juice ½ c. diced celery Juice of 1 lime 1 c.

  • Development and Application of a Lexicon to Describe the Flavor of Pomegranate Juice

CHAMBERS IV1,4 1The Sensory Analysis Center, Kansas State University Justin Hall, Manhattan, KS 66506-1407 2Department of Food Processing, Tallinn University of Technology 3Competence Center of Food and Fermentation Technologies Tallinn, Estonia Accepted for Publication June 28, 2010 ABSTRACT A lexicon for describing the sensory flavor characteristics of pomegran- ate juices was developed. Thirty-three pomegranate juices, including concen- trated products, products from concentrate, and freshly squeezed and pasteurized products, were studied. More than 30 sensory attributes were identified, defined, and referenced by a highly trained descriptive sensory panel. The lexicon that was established includes attributes to describe a range of flavors associated with pomegranates, such as brown spice, fermented, molasses, vinegar, wine-like, woody, apple, berry, cranberry, cherry and grape. Generally, pomegranate juice can be described by the flavor charac- teristics of sour, sweet, musty/earthy, fruity aromatics and an astringent mouthfeel. The flavor characteristics of pomegranate juices are reminiscent of a combination of concord grapes, cranberries, blackberries, cherries, cur- rants and raspberries, but there also are vegetable notes such as beets and carrots. The lexicon provides attribute descriptors, definitions and references that were previously lacking in literature on pomegranates. PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS The manufacturing and consumption of pomegranate and pomegranate- based products has increased. Many products use pomegranate as a main flavor component or as an addition to other flavors in juices, yoghurts, jams and 4 Corresponding author.

  • Pomegranate Juice with Apple Juice Is That It Is Clear and Provides No Noticeable Change to the Sugar Content
    APPLICATION NOTE Mass Spectrometry Author: Avinash Dalmia PerkinElmer, Inc. Shelton, CT USA Rapid Screening of Adulteration in Pomegranate Juice with Introduction Pomegranate juice is in high demand due to its well documented Apple Juice Using DSA/ health benefits. Studies based on a significant body of scientific research conducted on authentic pomegranate juice have TOF with Minimal established that pomegranate juice has superior antioxidant activity compared to other popular fruit juices such as grape, orange and Sample Preparation apple1,2,3. These superior health benefits have led to a meteoric rise in the popularity of pomegranate juice over the last 10 years. This has resulted in pomegranate juice having a significantly higher cost than other juices, especially in comparison to apple, orange and grape juice. This high cost has provided an economic incentive for the adulteration of pomegranate juice4. There are a number of of other reasons for adulteration including: customers demanding their suppliers reduce costs; there comes a point when a supplier may adulterate the product to lower the cost and maintain a workable margin. Another reason for pomegranate juice adulteration is that it is in high demand and short supply, leading to incentives to extend limited supplies by the addition of other cheaper fruit juices. The adulteration of pomegranate juice is accomplished by using cheap ingredients. One of the common adulterants of pomegranate juice is a cheaper so called filler fruit juice such as apple juice. The advantage of adulterating pomegranate juice with apple juice is that it is clear and provides no noticeable change to the sugar content.

  • Fruit Juice - Nutrition & Health an Ifu Scientific Review
    FRUIT JUICE - NUTRITION & HEALTH AN IFU SCIENTIFIC REVIEW General Dietary Recommendations The lack of adequate consumption of fruit and vegetables has become a worldwide dietary concern since fruits and vegetables play a pivotal role in attaining and maintaining good health. Decades of research have found that fruits and vegetables are crucial dietary components consumption of which has been associated with a reduced risk of developing a number of chronic diseases, particularly those which are thought to be initiated by chronic inflammation (Holt et al. 2009; Joseph et al. 2015). The World Health Organization (WHO) as a cosponsor of the global 5+ a day program promotes the inclusion of at least five servings a day of fruit and vegetables (a minimum of 400 g of fruits and vegetables daily) as an essential element in a healthy diet (WHO, 2004). Fruits, vegetables and one hundred percent (100%) fruit juices are deemed to be an integral part of the 5 + a day program. For example, the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), in the description of MyPlate states that 100% fruit juice counts as part of the fruit group (http://www.choosemyplate.gov). The American Academy of Pediatrics suggests that, although fruit juices should be consumed in moderation, 6 fl oz. of juice (ca. 177 ml) can count toward a serving of fruit (Amer. Acad. Pediatrics. 2001). General dietary advice including 5+ a day recommendations, has also been published by the various countries, among others the majority of European countries (UK, France, Germany, Sweden, Austria, Finland, Poland, Norway, Ireland, Denmark, Italy, Spain). The Australian government and Canadian dietitians also note fruit juice as an important part of a healthy diet.

  • Pomegranates Suzanne Jorgensen, Family and Consumer Sciences Agent Charlotte Brennand, Food Safety/Preservation Specialist
    Reviewed May 2020 Pomegranates SuzAnne Jorgensen, Family and Consumer Sciences Agent Charlotte Brennand, Food Safety/Preservation Specialist Did you know? ! The pomegranate is a native fruit of the Middle East. Its name in Latin means “apple with many seeds,” but it actually looks somewhat like a petrified tomato. ! The pomegranate plant can be used for its aesthetic beauty in hedges, as a shrub, a tree or for its fruit. ! The pomegranate plant is well adapted to the hot, dry climate of the Southwest and grows in a wide range of soils. FRUIT USE The edible portion of the fruit includes the seed and the juicy translucent flesh covering the seed. The tart flavor of the pulp and juice can add interest and variety to other foods. The flesh-covered seeds can be used as a garnish in fruit cups, compotes, salads, desserts, and as a snack. The juice is used to make jellies, puddings, desserts, and drinks. Grenadine, made from pomegranate juice, is a flavoring in some beverages. Grenadine is also a delicious topping for ice cream and chilled fruits such as peaches, pears, and bananas. REMOVING THE SEEDS It’s a good idea to wear an apron when handling pomegranates. They tend to spurt, and the deep red stain is difficult to remove. Because pomegranate juice can darken if it comes in contact with metal, use plastic or glass utensils. When you need a large number of seeds, cut off the crown and score the pomegranate lengthwise in three or four places. Seeds can also be removed by cutting the pomegranate in half, placing the cut face down, and rapping the shell firmly with a blunt instrument such as a hammer handle.
