Sharon fruit? Pomegranate? I really am not a fruit expert. I know I "should" eat more of it, but it doesn't come naturally to me. OK, if you eat puddings, chop it up and have a fruit salad, in lots of combinations... but I don't eat pudding more than once a month. So here I am with 3 sharon fruit and 3 pomegranates, what to do? Lots of snuffling in the house as well, so a good faff in the kitchen mucking about with stuff kind of a Saturday, so I though chutney... and then I though again.. chili jam!
2 smallish onions, finely chopped
olive oil
3 sharon fruits
2 pomegranates
dried rosemary
gralic, crushed - at elast 4 cloves, more if you like it garlicky
ginger - also crushed - about a thumb sized piece, but to taste
chili flakes (about 1 tsp)
granulated sugar (about 250g)
cider vinegar
splosh of red wine
juice of 1 lime
juice of 2 oranges
water
1. Sautee onion in olive oil.
2. Add chopped sharon fruit and pomegranate buds (well, whatever they are -- the bobbles, cut pomegranate in half and squeeze the sweet kernels into the pan, squeeze in juice of 1 lime.
3. Sprinkle a little dried rosemary in. Stir, and gently sautee.
4. Add garlic, ginger, chili paste, sugar and vinegar. Simmer. don't let t dry out.
5. Taste - I added orange juice and simmered again for a bit.
6. spoon a bit onto a cold plate, and taste when it cools down a bit. adjust seasoning to taste.
7. Put into jars.
Eat with cheese/ cold meats.

Lamb tagine with sharon fruit
What on earth are you supposed to do with a Sharon fruit? Well, spicy sweet tagine, that's what. Probably not an authentic tagine, but a slow cooked moroccan inspired stew. Fry onion, garlic and spices (paprika, cinnamon, ginger, cumin, chili). Add lamb, red pepper, courgette and chopped sharon fruit - then chicken srock, tomato puree and a tin of chopped tomatoes. Tasty - served with couscous, cauliflower, pita bread and greek yogurt. Gathered victims scoffed it, but didn't comment, so I will have to deduce that it was OK, but not their favourite ... still, it did use up veg box sharon fruit, which was the main aim. Update: got compliment from one of the victims - "that tagine was really nice actually, it wasn't just weak curry"... result!
