Pomegranate liqueur, a lemon and cinnamon flavored digestif. In May, this plant gives us beautiful vermilion flowers, and in autumn, the fruits are ripe for harvesting and use in the kitchen. In cosmetics, products are used that utilize colors extracted from the roots, which together with the fruit bark are also used in medicine for their healing properties. If you want to visit my blog.giallozafferano.itvaipinacucina, you will find recipes, tutorials and much more. You will also find my personal recipe for pomegranate liqueur, a fresh digestif with a beautiful color ranging from pink to ruby red! Perhaps this is why it is loved and appreciated by women as well. In the kitchen, pomegranate is used to prepare appetizers, fruit juices, desserts, and in this regard, I would like to suggest my ricotta cake with orange marmalade, always with fruit, the pear and chocolate chip ring cake.
