Yesterday I spent  the afternoon in the kitchen. My mom has a pomegranate tree and it is ready ,so I picked 2 bags  of the cracked ones: It is hard to tell, but they are really big.  Then, I took the seeds out- this is the most tedious job and as I was doing it I was thinking that there has to be an easier and faster way of harvesting the seeds...but I couldn't come up with any other way:I have tried several different ways of extracting the juice and this time I just put a handful of seeds in a cheesecloth and twisted until all the juice was out.  I think this worked very well- the  juice didn't splatter everywhere. My husband's favorite jelly is pomegranate, so I made a batch for him.

The jelly looks great! I've never had pomegranite jelly. I just saw a segment on Pauls James Gardening by the Yard over pomegranite trees. Made me kind of want one.

I'd love your recipe for pomegranite jelly! My neighbors have several trees and share their fruit with me.
