Crimson gold and deep red, colors of pomegranates ….
One of our favorite fruits, locally produced and bursting with flavours. Refreshing and a naturally sweet thirst quencher, one is fortunate during autumn season to find these juice stands in some of the main streets of larger cities, such as Mostar and Sarajevo.

What gorgeous autumnal colours I love this time of the year (though we’re in the opposite season here in Perth!). The pomegranates look delicious too! Enjoy your weekend ๐

Yes we are “upside down” here! It does get a bit confusing but I’m used to it since I have so many relatives based in the northern hemisphere. I always check out the European weather too! ๐

So out of curiosity, which season is Perth in right now, Rosemary?

Wow–I’ve never seen pomegranates like that before! Here, we just see a few, very expensive, in the supermarket. And I’m sure they don’t taste as good as your local ones!

Many thanks for your comments, Kerry. These are the colors one should look for, if one wants great pomegranates, I’m told.
Over here, is “A land of wheat, and barley, and vines, and fig trees, and pomegranates; a land of oil olive, and honey;” therefore pomegranates here are usually many ๐
the 1 glass of pure juice from the juice stand is around US$1, depending on produce.
they are readily available around Autumn seasons and they certainly taste great!
Great to have you passing by, wishing you a great weekend ahead! ๐

Many thanks for your comments! ๐ Glad that you enjoyed this post, must have been really great as you still remember ๐ . Pomegranates are widely available in the Mediterranean coastal region, which Bosnia & Herzegovina is part of and famous for. I couldn’t fathom why people here like to paint pictures of these fruits for centuries until I came here. ๐ Wishing you a great week ahead.

Beautiful colours and they look like they would taste amazing, so fresh! They cost a fortune in our UK supermarkets and don’t look as juicy as these! Happy Autumn.

Yes, they are delicious! And 1 glass of pure juice (not watered down) is about US$1 or โฌ1 depends! ๐ But then, we also missed certain food in England. My hubby tried the best fish and chips which is in Portabello Road! ๐ Happy Autumn to you, too! ๐
