Last week I received an email from Pom Wonderful asking if I wanted to be sent a sample of pomegranate juice. I was a bit skeptical because I started this blog for fun and have never been offered any food samples before. Plus there was no strings attached to the sample (i.e. no requirement to blog about the product).
I'll be moving out of my apartment in a couple of months, so I figured that if I emailed the lady my address, so I figured that I wouldn't receive any spam mail. Plus I live in a secure apartment in which you need a keycard to enter. *yes, I am slightly paranoid when it comes to safety. I used to carry pepper spray, I've taken self-defense classes, and hold my keys a particular way when I walk home just in case I need to strike someone*I digressed...so last Friday I was pleasantly surprised to find an 8-pack of pomegranate juice waiting for me when I arrived at home.
I was making rainbow jello for a party I attended, so I thought, "why not make pomegranate jello?"

Assembling the layered jello
1. Pour ~3/4 cup pomegranate mixture into the pan. Place in the refrigerator and let gelatin set for 15-20 minutes.
2. Pour ~3/4 cup cream mixture into the pan. Place in the refrigerator and let gelatin set for 15-20 minutes.
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2, until you have 3 layers of pomegranate jello, and 2 layers of cream.
4. Cut into squares or rectangles and serve.
*side note* You will have extra cream jello mixture left, so you can pour it into a container and cut up and eat as a snack.
