Notes

Use fresh pomegranate seeds to prolong storage. I recommend using a fresh pomegranate and removing the seeds instead of buying the seeds already removed.
If placing in a gift container, add a protective press & seal wrap to ensure the package is airtight, and keep it in the refrigerator until just before serving or gifting.
