This recipe seemed to have an overpowering taste of balsamic vinegar. I increased the pomegranate juice to double, which affected the flavor only somewhat. The pomegranate flavor was very mild in this recipe which was kind of disappointing. Sorry about the bad review, but I don't think I'll be making this recipe again.

<p>I live in athens, ga and have a seasonal peanut brittle making business. I also do some catering and personal chefing. For fun i like gardening, listening to music, reading magazines and cookbooks, playing tennis, playing with my dogs (2 labs, 1 yorkie)and cooking. My favorite cookbook is Joy of Cooking and I am addicted to watching the food network. I love Jamie Oliver's style. A pet peeve in the kitchen is my husband picking at the food before it's ready. (Maybe I should take that as a compliment!)</p>
