I am 55 and it seems like ahundred years ago that my whole family was at my grandmother's house for a week in summer. My cousin was in high school home economics and this was a recipe she made. I loved it although I have almost completely changed the fruits in it. It has become a holiday tradition.

    Notes: I had never seen a pomegranate until I was 35 years old. I have since found the very best way in the world to clean a pomegranate I think. Get a big deep bowl and put in the sink and fill with cold water and let the water stay on at a slow run. As you break apart the fruit the heavy juice laden seeds drop to the bottom, the juice from the seeds you burst floats away as does the much lighter empty seed and fruit pith.
