Ingredients
- 1 pomegranate arils
- 1/2 pound cherries
- 3 Tablespoon pomegranate juice or water
- 3 cup plain greek yogurt
- 1/4 cup granola
- 4 cherries
Instructions
- To open the pomegranate cut the top off, then score down the sides to pry it open.
- Put the pieces in a bowl of water and gently loosen the arils, which should sink to the bottom while the membrane floats to the top.
- Pour off the water and membrane.
- Pit the cherries and chop, reserving 4 cherries to decorate the top.
- Combine 1 c. each of the arils and cherries in a sauce pan and add 3 T of pomegranate juice, or water if you don't have any pomegranate juice handy.
- Bring to a boil and cook for 15 minutes to soften the fruit.
- Let the fruit cool for 30 minutes.
- Put a layer of fruit on the bottom of a mason jar or container, and top with 1/4 c. yogurt.
- Continue alternating layers until you get to the top of the container.
- Add a dollop of yogurt to the top to hold one of the reserved cherries, and sprinkle granola around the top.
