Instructions
- Score and open: Using a sharp paring knife, cut a circle around the top of the pomegranate. Make 5–6 shallow cuts along the natural ridges and gently pull it apart.
- Deseed without mess: Hold each half over a bowl and tap the back with a wooden spoon. Or deseed in a bowl of water to prevent staining.
- Blend: Place the seeds in a blender and pulse a few times—just enough to break the juice sacs and release their juice.
- Strain: Pour the mixture through a mesh strainer into a bowl, pressing with a spoon to extract as much juice as possible. The pulp should be relatively dry when you have extracted all the juice.
- Serve: Chill and serve. Add a little lemon or sweetener, if desired.
Notes
- If using a fresh pomegranate, make sure that it is ripe for the best flavor. It should be heavy for its size and firm to the touch.
- Don’t over-blend – It can release bitter compounds from the seeds and make the juice gritty.
- No blender? I usually use a high-speed blender, but a medium-speed blender will do the job well. You could also use a citrus press, a handheld juicer, or an electric juicer.
- Use a double mesh strainer or a cheesecloth to decrease the amount of pulp in the pomegranate juice.
- Wear an apron and slice pomegranates on a plastic cutting board to avoid stains.
