Tips

Test Kitchen Tips:

  • Pomegranate juice is available in the produce department of most supermarkets.
  • To remove pomegranate seeds, break open the pomegranate in a bowl of water. The pink seeds will separate from the white membrane more easily and will sink to the bottom of the bowl, while the membrane will float and can be removed easily.
