When I received the offer by email, I was still searching for a brisket recipe, and found a few tempting recipes for brisket with pomegranate juice, so I agreed to participate. Alas, the samples did not arrive until about an hour before the first seder, about 36 hours too late for the brisket.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.beliefnet.com\/homeshuling\/files\/2011\/04\/zoku.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-1225\" src=\"https:\/\/wp-media.beliefnet.com\/sites\/86\/2011\/04\/zoku-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a>Passover desserts can be tricky to do well.
