Memorable Moment:

My grandmother passed this recipe to my mother who passed it on to me and my children.  I do not remember a Thanksgiving in my entire life (and I'm 69 years old) without this salad and we try to serve it on Christmas, too.  My 86-year-old aunt who lives in St. George, Utah, grows the sweet variety of pomegranates in her back yard.  She manages to send me a box of this wonderful fruit every year a couple of weeks before Thanksgiving.
