pomegranate juice can be substituted with almost any kind of fruit juice 
or verjuice such as that from tart apples, oranges, unripe grapes, also 
that from roasted gourds and quince as well as vinegar. (Note: 
pomegranates were sent to northern Europe until they were dried in the 
Middle Ages so it seems a little difficult to find the juice in recipes 
that are not from the Mediterranean region.)

almonds can be substituted with almost any king of thickener such as 
breadcrumbs, flour, eggs or egg yolks and also crushed nuts (such as 
hazel, pine, pistachio, walnuts etc.)

Sorry to be so late but I am a little behind on mails due to all the May 
activities.
