when to add juices...

Its never too late! (or, at least in my opinion its never too late) I believe the fruit will impart different characteristics to the mead depending on when it is added. Adding at this point should preserve more of the fruit flavor and sweetness.
Shawn,
How is the fermentation going at this stage? Any action? Do you want to actually ferment the pomegranite juice, or just impart some flavor? If it's just flavor you want, I'd wait until fermentation is complete, stabilize it, and then add the pomegranite juice to taste (that is, slowly, tasting as you go until you get the flavor you're after).

I usually make 1 gallon batches - I juice 2 to 3 lbs of frozen fruit which yields between 2 and 3 cups of juice. I am new at this, so I dont know if that's the optimal ratio, but its what I'm doing. Its too soon to really know the results but it seems to impart plenty of fruit aroma and flavor.
