This incredibly sour concoction is not worth the significant cost of purchasing the pomegranate juice and maple syrup. Stick with fresh fruit and avoid the mess and the disappointment.

Although I found that the ingredients were all easy to get (my roomate is obsessed with the health benifits of pomegranates and always has juice around the house) the cinnamon overpowered all other flavors, besides the cinnamon seems out of place in a cold dessert. Don't waste your time, if you like cinnamon bake an apple pie instead!

Pomegranates are healthy and I had purchased the juice by mistake which is bitter and sour. Now I can use the other bottle and put it to good use. I had no ideal what to do with it until now! Thanks Vegetarian Times!!
