Opening and Preparing a Pomegranate

Thanks to a well-positioned bin, along with a well-designed informational brochure, Liz and I picked up a pomegranate while shopping at Strack last weekend. Neither one of us had really had one before, and Liz wanted to try one out. First step in opening up a pomegranate: cut off the top. Next up – take…
