Pomegranate and pumpkin mis flawlessly in the recipe by Katie Lee, Clos du Bois ambassador. Although she keeps this one on the menu for Thanksgiving, we think this recipe has a little more lee-way in terms of the seasons. It also makes for a great way to eat light, while devouring your favorite pumpkin flavors.
