That looks gorgeous.....

When I was very young, Mum and Dad always used to get pomegranates in the days leading up to, and just after, Christmas. There was a stall in Petticoat Lane that used to have them. It strikes me as rather strange looking back on it, because it was not long after the end of World War II and pomegranates were rather exotic.

@morning glory We always used to cut them in half and use a spoon :laugh:

I used frozen pomegranate seeds for my beans and Swiss chard recipe. There was hardly any ice in the pack, and when they thawed out the dish contained quite a lot of juice. I drank it.
 
When I cut one open to get the 'jewels' out, I wasn't quite as prepared as I should have been for the stunning splash of juice, I keep finding another red spot to wipe!

That's one of the hazards of getting at the arils in Pomegranate. If you don't learn a good technique, you'll see them bleed out quite a bit.
