Instructions
Ziploc Bag Method:
- If you are juicing just one or two pomegranates, this is one low-tech way of doing it. Seed your pomegranate (per video instructions) and place seeds in a resealable plastic bag.
- Seal the bag, squeezing out air, and squeeze the seeds with your hands or roll on the counter with a rolling pin to squeeze out juice.
- Pour the juice into a glass or bottle and place the seeds in a small strainer over a bowl. Using a spoon, squeeze out the remaining juice.
Citrus Juicer Method:
- If you don't feel like seeding a pomegranate, you can cut it in half along the equator. Press it into a citrus juicer, the ones with a strainer and bowl. Please note, this method does splatter and pomegranate juice does stain.
Spiral Juicer Method:
- This method yields the most and best tasting juice. It works great when you are juicing a large batch of pomegranates. Seed your pomegranates (per video instructions) and place seeds through a spiral juicer. Save, the juice and discard the seeds.
