POM
Parfait
Ingredients:
Juice from 2-3 large POM Wonderful Pomegranates*, or 1
cup POM Wonderful 100% Pomegranate Juice
1 tbls. Unflavored Gelatin
1 cup Sugar
3 Eggs, (separated)
3/4 cup Water
2 tbls. Fresh Lemon Juice
1 cup Whipping Cream
Garnish
(Optional):
3 tbls. Arils from 1 POM Wonderful Pomegranate or POM
POMS fresh pomegranate arils
Whipped Cream
Chopped Pistachios (shelled)
Procedures:
1. Prepare Fresh Pomegranate Juice.*
Mix gelatin and sugar in a heavy saucepan, reserve.
Whisk egg yolks and water together; stir into gelatin
mixture. Cook over medium-low heat (do not boil), stirring
constantly until gelatin and sugar dissolve, about 5 minutes.
2.
Remove from heat; stir in pomegranate and lemon juices.
3.
Refrigerate pomegranate mixture, stirring occasionally,
until mixture mounds slightly when dropped from a spoon,
about 2 1/2 hours.
4:
When pomegranate mixture is ready, beat egg whites until
stiff but not dry; thoroughly fold into pomegranate mixture.
Reserve.
5.
Whip cream until soft peaks form; reserve 6 tablespoons
for garnish. Carefully fold remaining whipped cream into
pomegranate mixture.
6.
Divide mixture among six 8-oz. parfait glasses; chill
at least 4 hours.
Prepare
Garnish: Score 1 fresh pomegranate and
place in a bowl of water. Break open the pomegranate underwater
to free the arils (seed sacs). The arils will sink to
the bottom of the bowl and the membrane will float to
the top. Sieve and put the arils in a separate bowl. Reserve
3 tablespoons of the arils from fruit and set aside. (Refrigerate
or freeze remaining arils for another use.)
To
serve this pomegranate recipe garnish each parfait with
a dollop of whipped cream; sprinkle with chopped nuts
and pomegranate arils.
Notes:
*For 1 cups of juice, cut 2-3 large POM Wonderful Pomegranates
in half and juice them with a citrus reamer or juicer.
Pour mixture through a cheesecloth-lined strainer or sieve.
Set the juice aside.
