poumgarnet...

...as references called the 'pomegranate'  in 13th century England when they first arrived from southern Europe.

Garnet coloured indeed and I am hoping! that this beauty and buddies flourishing on the garden tree reach maturity before tumbling off the tree .
Haven't had the greatest of success in the past but this year there are blossoms and fruit in abundance so surely at least one will thrive!
Thinking pomegranate infused apple vinegar or pomegranate gin!
Yummm.
