I don't want to get political here, but this is a Washington thing. Sometimes the everyday world of us Washingtonians -- school, work, laundry, food -- collides with the political. I came up with this recipe 4 years ago when the city was swept up with the inauguration of a new president. My then-four old called the pomegranate on our counter an Obamagranate and an idea was born. The only down side to this recipe is that the pomegranate loses its vibrant color in the making of the custard. The syrup solves that, though, and adds even more pomegranate flavor.
