Some drop to the bottom and then you can ease them out under water so that your clothes don't get stained. I tried the Nigella way of whacking the halves and I ended up with red stained clothes :(Not Quite Nigellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14516503190268699785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1315882034135499305.post-89838612807996556072012-09-15T16:01:36.549+01:002012-09-15T16:01:36.549+01:00What a curious little treat - they look very prett...What a curious little treat - they look very pretty though!

With pomegranates I just slice them in half and pick away.

I find the best way to get the seeds out of the pomegranate is to slice it in half and then hold each half (cut side down obviously!) over a bowl, then I wallop the heck out of it with a soup ladle or a wooden spoon. This is how Nigella does it, she seems to have far more finesse about her when she does it on her show, where as I get covered in juice and white bits. Its a good idea to wear an apron ;0)Chelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00939575593242980773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1315882034135499305.post-91580084290036289902012-09-14T21:39:10.010+01:002012-09-14T21:39:10.010+01:00no, i'm right up there with you!... anything w...no, i'm right up there with you!... anything with honey and pistachios is absolutely alright by me!... think I may be off to buy that book now too!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11431297921869969693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1315882034135499305.post-53205042087344069522012-09-14T21:16:40.359+01:002012-09-14T21:16:40.359+01:00You're just going to have to change your title...You're just going to have to change your title "Baking and Cookbook Addict".
