I made this after finding some pomegranates in the supermarket! I heard that pomegranates are particularly good for women as they contain a certain hormone so I'm looking forward to trying them!!
After much thinking I decided to make a clear, white rum.

Please steep the fruit of the pomegranates after thoroughly wiping away any excess water. I removed any pomegranate seeds that got crushed. After taking out the seeds, let the mixture rest for at least 6 months, or if you can wait that long, 1 year. Recipe by ka8to9

Steps

1

Remove the seeds of the pomegranate carefully without crushing them. Rinse them while picking away anything that's not a seed and dry well.
2

Peel the lemons and cut into 2-4 equal pieces. (This time I steeped everything in a bottle with quite a narrow neck so cut the lemons into eighths.)
3

Add the pomegranate seeds and the lemon to a bottle and then sprinkle the crystal rock sugar over the top. Finally pour in the white rum. This time I used an empty bottle that used to be filled with dark rum so I didn't have to sterilize it. However, make sure you usually sterilize the container that you're going to steep everything in, either with alcohol or boiling water. Remove the fruit after 2-3 months.

I took a photo after 3 weeks had passed (4th Nov.). It's become such a cute pink colour, though in time the red colour will probably fade.

I took the fruit out in Feb. 2007 and am leaving it to mature. The flavour doesn't really stand out so much but it has a gentle tartness to it. This alcohol isn't so sweet so you can look forward to drinking it straight. The colour has faded from a pink to a light brown here. Updated 1.6.2007.
