Ingredients

How to make it

  • Cut the stem end of the pomegranate off, going in about 1/2 inch or so from the end. See Photo
  • Identify the "sections" of the Pomegranate by looking at the cut end of the fruit.
  • Carefully cut down into each section, running your knife down through the tougher, outer skin. See Photo
  • Gently pull apart each section. See Photo
  • Over the bowl of water, use your fingers to release the arils(these are the pink/purple kernel looking things filled with juice :) from the yellowish/white membranes. The arils will sink, the membranes will float. See Photo
  • With slotted spoon, spoon out the membrane from the top of the water and discard.
  • Once cleaned out, transfer the arils into the clean bowl through the strainer.
  • Refrigerate for up to a week or so, or use immediately.

    I saw this technique on a cooking show last week. What an eye opener. Suddenly opened up the possibilities of actually using it as an ingredient. Great post.
