Pomegranates

The pomegranate...the "in" fruit these days it seems.

Dictionary.com explains it as:

pome·gran·ate:

- A deciduous shrub or small tree (Punica granatum) native to Asia and widely cultivated for its edible fruit.
- The fruit of this tree, having a tough reddish rind, and containing many seeds, each enclosed in a juicy, mildly acidic, red pulp.

Well....Kristen decided to buy some,....and LOVES them...but there's a trick to eat them. Here's how Kristen does it:

Cut off the top

Put in water

Soak

Scoop seeds from pulp
Empty pulp will look like this

Rinse

Enjoy :)

To be truthful, I liked pomegranate flavoured things but not the actual fruit (like most fruit). Yet when I see this I always picture it in a sort of simple syrup (water & sugar) and poured over vanilla ice cream....maybe I'll try it some day.
