Hi Rose – Yes I know Persia = Iran. I am calling it Persia because that is what Sally calls it. The book is called ‘Persia in Peckham’. It is about Iranian food.

Peel the pomegranate in a bowl of ice cold water. The seeds fall to the bottom and all the white pith rises to the top to be easily scooped off.

Thanks Richard! And thank you for your advice about the pomegranate. I will definitely try all methods suggested and see which one truns out the best. I agree with what you say though – no pain, no gain……

Wow – what a post – will need some time to digest it all.

In the meantime, re the pomegranate…
Cut it in half (the right way!) and, holding it over a large bowl, bash the hell out of the skin with a wooden spoon – amazingly, all the seeds drop into the bowl with no pith at all… Beware of bruised fingertips – but art always has a price!

Hello Margaret! Thank you for reading my blog. I had no idea that you could do it this way and it would never have occurred to me to try it either, thank you! I knew there had to be a better way……

Hi Helen,
It’s about your pomegranates, you are right about the layers and the way the pomegranate is organised inside. You can peel the pomegranate as you might peel a potato or an apple then you can gently remove the bits with your fingers. Less messy!
