Pomegranates are one of my favourite fruits - and there are lots in the UK supermarkets at the moment, mostly from Spain and Greece. I love to eat them strate from the fruit. I just cut them in half and then break the thin, fibrous membrane away from the seeds and just eat direct from the skin. I also like them sprinkled on top of some puddings, they look really jewel-like. I also love pomegranate juice - but not the stuff we get here called Pomegreat... which is grape juice or apple juice (can't remember which!) flavoured with pomegranate juice. Horrid stuff.ps8 said:Does anyone have instructions on just what you're supposed to do with pommegranates? What's the best way to open them? What do you do wiwth them once it's opened?
