How to:

Get the pips out of a pomegranate

Cut the crown end of the pomegranate and lightly score the rind in several places. Immerse the fruit in a bowl of water and soak for 5 minutes.

Hold the fruit under water and break the sections apart, separating the seeds from the membrane.The seeds will sink while the rind and membrane will float. Skim off and discard membranes and rind. Pour the seeds into a colander, drain, and pat dry

Recipe by: Abigail Donnelly
Serves: 4 boxes
Allergens: Wheat free / Gluten free
Dietary considerations: Dairy free
Category: Easy
Prep time: 10 minutes
Cooking time: 30 minutes
Ingredients:
1 litre good-quality pomegranate juice
400 g sugar
3 star anise
12 whole figs
Cooking instructions:

Place all ingredients, besides the figs, in a saucepan over a medium-low heat and bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally.

About 15 minutes after the mixture begins to simmer, tear in chunks of ripe fig and cook to a thick, syrupy consistency.

Remove from the heat and leave to cool slightly. Spoon into little jars and serve with ripe Camembert, or bottle in sterilised jars decorated with pretty ribbons.

Cook’s note:
Good-quality pomegranate juice is a bit more expensive but its superior taste is well worth it.
