Pomegranate Apple Satsuma Spiced Cooler. A delicious, refreshing cooler made using a pressure cooker. Vegan and Gluten Free Recipe. Jump to Recipe
Its been getting dark at like 3:45 pm already, reducing my cooking and clicking picture time to almost zilch.. and it is super cloudy on top of that..Most pictures come up all bluey and my night time studio does not have the right light.. baah.
And for some reason I was thinking it is Friday today and freaking out about all the cookies I need to bake! ahh.. its thursday! yay, 1 more day! then hubbs will be home rest of the month.. ok that means a whole lot of variety of food demands..hmmm. I dont mind that:) Anywhu, here is a simple cooler from all the fruits lying around in the refrigerator…
Those orange cute oranges are Satsuma, a seedless and easy peeling Japanese citrus fruit. I’ve made similar fruit/veggie smoothie or thinner cooler drinks before. The cooking just makes it easier to digest the fruits/veggies.. I cant digest some raw fruits well, but slightly cooked is all good! The drink taste also does not change over 3-4 days, stored in the refrigerator, and who doesnt like some spice! The hindi name for the drink would be Anar, Seb, Santara ka Panna!:) Checkout the Blueberry Strawberry Cooler
and my favorite Mango Beet Smoothie!
Also, if you are in or around Seattle, drop by Sidecar for Pigs Peace store for a Bake sale on Saturday Dec 17, 11 am onwards, benefitting the Pigs Peace Sanctuary!
Pictured below is the night time shot when I just pureed the drink.. bubbly!
