Letter: Plumgranny also called pomegranate?

Martha Berry writes:

Are plumgrannies and pomegranate the same?

Martha, thanks for writing. Your question turned up a very interesting essay at thehistoricfoodie.wordpress.com, where they say:
It was commonly called the Queen Anne's Pocket Melon, however, in the American South it was more often called the vegetable pomegranate, later shortened to pomegranate. Even later, that was corrupted into, "plum granny", by those whose speech patterns hail from the Appalachians.
