Instructions
Slice off the top of the pomegranate (the end that looks like a crown).
Score the pomegranate in 4 or 5 places, just slicing through the peel.
Place pomegranate cut side down in a bowl of cold water and let soak for 10 minutes.
Keeping under water, pry open and use your fingers to work the arils away from the flesh, letting them fall into the water.
Skim any white membrane off the top of the water before straining the pomegranate seeds out of the water.
