Cooking Notes
In which season are we supposed to make this? Right now (midsummer) there are no pomegranates. And when pomegranates are in season, in winter, mangos are not. Or am I wrong about this?
This is an old family recipe except: we add 2TBSP of honey, 1tsp of celery seed, and whatever fruits are in season and not mushy, sometimes a sprinkling of cinnamon or nutmeg. Thanksgiving 2016 included mango, pineapple, sweet cherries, bananas, blueberries, pomegranate, blackberries, raspberries, and grapefruit. We add kiwi, peaches in season instead of mango, strawberries, grapes, apples, pears (firm only, Bartletts too mushy) and others. Great for breakfast.
True, but you can get frozen pomegranate seeds OR freeze your own when they are in season - which I do and one p. goes a long way!
Easy, beautiful & great with any meal, any time of day. This is also great with perfectly ripe melons.
Look for the already seeded pomegranate tub in the refrigerated fruit section at a Whole Foods, Dave's Fresh Market, Fresh Market and maybe some supermarket chains. Not sure where you live but they seem to be brought in year round here in new England. Good luck!
Super simple, tasty, and very pretty.
juliet,
i think you can find the pomegranate seeds in packs. trader joe's has them as does my local shaws, in the absence of the fruit.
Loved this! Was definitely an elevated and elegant fruit salad that was kid-friendly.
Some mangos come into season in the US winter, so this is doable. I just made it basically as described except that my mango was about a day from ripeness (so not fully sweet yet, though very flavorful), so I added about 2 tsp of honey to compensate. Very good.
One mango, very ripe, cut in cubes One Granny Smith Apple, cut in cubes I/2 cup currants 1 cup blueberries Juice of 1 lime 1/4 teaspoon grated ginger root Mix together Cover and refrigerate.
Simple and great taste. Did wind up using two tsp of honey, just a personal taste. Without the honey was also very good. No issue with finding mango's or pomegranate seeds in February.
So simple, so good! I was skeptical but it didn’t need any added sugar / honey. Made it during the winter with fresh keitt mango, blueberries, and packaged pomegranate seeds.
Delicious, light, colorful and flavorful.
I don't know about elsewhere in the country, but here in NYC, Fairway has pomegranates AND ripe mangoes for sale, along with enormous blueberries from Chile and Ecuador.

sooo pretty and a wonderful dessert. it taught me a very easy way to cut a mango. great for breakfast the next day. trader joes and other supermarkets have the pomegranate seeds when the fruit is not in season.

Seems to me the template is a good one, and you can do all kinds of swaps (ripe honeydew, diced plums, etc.) as long as you don't forget the lime juice. I'm about to go pick some black raspberries growing wild along our driveway, avoiding the poison ivy as best I can.

Very good and I would make again--very attractive on a white platter
