PICTURE OF THE DAY 12/1/11: POMEGRANATES

I love pomegranates! 


They're tasty and pretty.  It's a little tricky getting all of those yummy seeds out though.  I think the technical term for them is arils.  I recently learned about peeling a pomegranate in a bowl of water. It works great!  No red splatters all over your kitchen walls.


I put these in cookies, with white chocolate chips.  They were delicious!


I'm sharing this last one at Misty's Shoot. Edit. Submit.

That looks so pretty and delicious! I use the trick of whacking a wooden spoon against the back of a pomegranate to get the seeds out! I have to try the water trick!
