[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 but it surely simply sounds good – like butterbeer from Harry Potter books.)
This yr, we had been lucky to have POM Fantastic again with us at Smugglers’ Notch as repeat Weblog Brûlée sponsor and as soon as once more they didn’t disappoint. I even discovered some new enjoyable information like:
- Every 8-ounce bottle of POM Fantastic incorporates the juice from two complete pomegranates (and nothing else.)
- Every 8-ounce bottle has a a lot potassium as a banana.
- POM Fantastic grows, handpicks and juices all its personal pomegranates so they’re actually a farm to desk product.
- On common, POM Fantastic incorporates 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 Fantastic, we someway timed it proper with serving a scrumptious glowing POM Get together 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 proper climate to get pleasure from this Warmed Spiced POM Cider.
Now, I’ve solely ever had warmed apple cider just a few instances earlier than however after sampling this pomegranate juice model, recipe lightbulbs had been going off in my head. The unique recipe makes use of solely POM juice so for my model under 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 proper approach to preserve your POM cider drink heat, particularly when serving to a crowd. We’re having folks over for a potluck dinner on Halloween earlier than trick or treating and my gradual cooker will probably be on heat with a ladle, mugs and a bowl of pomegranate arils for garnish beside it.
