Plus, perfect Fall salad with pomegranate.
Pomegranates are one of the supreme pleasures of the season. Their garnet like seeds are sweet, tart and juicy. They're also blood red and opening a whole pomegranate the wrong way can make your kitchen look like Janet Leigh's shower - afterwards. If sweet, tart and juicy are not enough for you - how about antioxidant and vitamin bennies? It's all here in one slightly challenging package. Here's a foolproof method for opening a pomegranate wtihout looking like a bloody mess when you're through. See this article on Fall Apples that includes an APPLE-POMEGRANATE salad. |
 Here we have a beautiful pomegranate. No bruises or wrinkles. Firm and deep colored. |
 This is the crown or the blossom end. |
 Score this end with large + shaped cuts. |
 Hold the pomegranate under water in a large bowl and separate into quarters. |
 A pomegranate has sections of seeds inside, simply pull them gently away with your thumbs. |
 No red mess, just gorgeous pomegranate seeds! |
 Here, I'm sprinkling pomegranate seeds on a salad of roasted beets, supreme of orange. |

Nope. Just drain away the water and store them in a container in the fridge, perfect snack and terrific on salads. Reply...
