Pomegranates are an amazing fruit, with amazing flavors (sweet/tart) and super-nutrients. In Israel, the season runs from early September until late December, which makes a juicer a worthwhile investment (not to mention the oranges and grapefruits that appear later on).
Last year, I left my juicer in Rona and Michal's custody, and throughout the year I fantasized about the delicious juices they were (or should be) enjoying. One of my summer tasks was to dissemble and clean the juicer.

I was walking through the shuk looking for blueberries (no luck) when I came across a single booth selling pomegranates. Despite their rarity (frequency=better) and price, I indulged and bought six. The next day, I made juice, which was somewhat tart/bitter. But the season is only beginning, and it can only get better!
