Instructions

Step 1

Cut all fruit into bite size chunks. I don’t skin any of them, because I like the extra crunch (and fiber). Place all in a large bowl and finish by adding the pomegranate seeds.

Tip for pomegranate

Step 3

Break each half into smaller pieces and the seeds will fall into the water. Use your fingers to remove any stragglers that remain in the white flesh (called the ‘albedo’) and discard. Then use a strainer to remove the seeds from the water.
