Tips & Notes
- Pomegranate arils have hard seeds that don't fully break down. Blend on high a little longer than usual, then strain through a sieve if you want it smooth.
- To seed a fresh pomegranate, cut it in half and tap the back firmly with a wooden spoon over a bowl of water. The arils sink and the pith floats; freeze them on a tray.
- Pomegranate can be quite tart. Taste before sweetening, then add honey or maple syrup a teaspoon at a time.
