Serve immediately.
Pomegranate Syrup:
Grenadine is pomegranate syrup. Make your own pomegranate syrup by adding 1 cup fresh pomegranate juice and 1/2 cup granulated sugar to a 2- quart sauce pan. Bring to a boil over high heat, stirring until the sugar is completely dissolved; then boil for 1 minute. Remove from heat and cool. Cover and refrigerate leftover syrup for up to 2 weeks.
How to Remove Pomegranate Arils:
Arils can be purchased separately or try the Three Step-No Mess Method to remove pomegranate arils.
Three Step-No Mess Method:
1. Cut off the crown, then cut the pomegranate into sections.
2. Place the sections in a bowl of water. Roll out the arils (juice sacs) with your fingers. Discard the remaining white membrane and outer shell.
3. Strain to remove the water. Eat arils whole, seeds and all.
One medium pomegranate yields 3/4 cup arils
