How to peel a pomegranate in just a few simple steps with very little mess! This tried and true method is the best way to peel a pomegranate without loosing precious arils.
Start by filling a large bowl with cold water, set aside.
Then, with a small knife, cut a few slices into the top of the pomegranate. Be careful, they do drip. It is best to hold it over the bowl of water, it catches the mess.
Proceed to set the pomegranate in the bowl of the cold water and start digging into the cut openings.
