It’s the season of pomegranates, and it’s customary to eat this red-seeded fruit on Rosh Hashanah, because this is when the red seeded fruit is in season and we eat new fruits to celebrate the New Year.

I learned a great way to cut and seed pomegranates from my sister, who taught me to fill a workbowl halfway with water, cut the pomegranate in half, and put the cut side of the fruit into the water. Then pull the seeds out with your fingers immersed in the water. This way, you cut down on spurting red juice all over you, and the water doesn’t affect the seeds, either. Then you’ve got a bowlful of pomegranate seeds for sprinkling in salads, over desserts or straight (or in wine).
