Bloody Sunday

[wiseheart]

Well, not quite literally, but almost... in that I've massacred the pomegranate and the kitchen looked like a particularly bloody murder scene afterwards. Next time (in five or ten years) I'll give noadvertising's method a try. At least I could get the blood juice drops off the wall relatively easily. Our kitchen is painted white...

I've also made another batch of ginger syrup with honey for my friend Evie. Her new house isn't properly insulated and thus bitterly cold in the winter. Tea with ginger syrup will do her a wealth of good, or so I hope.

The kitchen battle ate most of my morning and early afternoon; grating ginger is heavy work, let me tell you. So I haven't done all that much afterwards. I made a pretty label for the syrup bottle and finished two more small felt Christmas baubles that I had started last night. (Found some felt rests that needed to be put to good use.) After that I was just lazy.

In case you go for the seeds only, you can gently cut off the top of the fruit. Then you will see those white walls and have to cut along them. not too deep, just the way you´d peel an orange. Afterwards you can easily break the fruit apart without making a mess.

Oh, thanks! I cut the fruit horizontally; I guess it wasn't the best idea.

That's why I don't eat pomegranate! *giggles*
My friend's husband can open it without it looking like a murder scene. But he's from Iraq, so I guess it's in his genes. 😁😁😁

Lol. Pomegranate juice does look rather bad. The mess involved in actually eating one means that I eat about one per decade.

Oh dear. I find pomegranates are challenging. I used a method of extracting the seeds underwater in a bowl. It worked. There was much less mess and was easier to remove the seeds completely from the pulp.

Obviously! *g*

Same here I'm afraid.

The problem is, I love the pulp! *g*

I've never thought about inserting a straw into the pomegranate. The next time I come across one, I am going to give that a try.
