When you’ve got that done, use the pomegranate molasses in a recipe for an almond torte or use the pomegranate molasses on a lamb kebab.
My favorite memory of the pomegranate is eating them poolside with a bunch of international hooligans travellers in Turkey. We just plucked them off the tree then slipped into the pool.

Loved the tip. However, four and a half minute to show me how to do something in 10 seconds?
We didn’t make the video. Just shared it. But that gives us a good idea…
Thank you, have been putting them in oatmeal for breakfast.
It’s a great tip, eh? No need for extra devices on the counter or the hassle of sitting down to pull out the seeds by hand!
It IS freakin awesome!!!!
