Homemade Pomegranate Juice

Homemade Pomegranate Juice

Each pomegranate you juice will serve one person, so it's easy to count how many you'll need!

Ingredients

  • 2 or more pomegranates each will provide roughly 1/2 cup juice, or about one serving

Instructions

  1. Fill a medium sized bowl with water.
  2. Cut a large "X" into the top (where the flower used to be) of each pomegranate, taking care to cut only through the peel (skin? hull?) and not through the seeds.
  3. Submerge in the water and begin to tear apart. This prevents seeds from staining and splattering at you as you work on them.
  4. The seeds will sink to the bottom of the bowl and the pithy membrane will float.
  5. Discard all white membrane, then strain the water from seeds.
  6. Pick over and remove any discolored seeds and place in a blender. Puree for 20 seconds.
  7. Strain into a large liquid measuring cup, pressing down on the obliterated seeds to extract all juice.
  8. Serve immediately, chill or blend with other fresh juices (ginger and orange would be nice!).
