Thank her for me! I checked various editions of Joy of Cooking last night; it was interesting to see the differences. I didn't find anything in the 1943 edition. The 1953 and 1975 editions said to pack them in light or medium syrup. The 1997 edition said "pomegranites freeze well." Real helpful. ;-) I didn't see anything useful in Putting Things By. So bags it is, no syrup.
