People, Plates and Things: How to seed a pomegranate

One of the perks of my husbands job is that he knows where all the little treasures of the city are, including where there are fruit trees growing on city property. The crown jewel being the pomegranate trees not far from our house but not easily found by the public. We went picking and although I was on spider watch the whole time I kept reminding myself that while I'm filling up target bags of these babies they are currently going for $2.99 each in the grocery store. When I was little my mom gave us pomegranates maybe twice a year and when she did we had to put on old clothes and sit in the backyard picking out one seed at a time. My mother-in-law however blew my mind when one day I came over and there was a huge bowl just full of seeds. It was amazing and beautiful and since then I've come to learn that poms are a big part of Persian culture and also how crazy easy they are to seed! So I've decided to share the knowledge.
