Method 2 : Cutting Horizontally
1. Make horizontal cuts: Make three horizontal cuts all the way around the fruit. Don’t pierce all the way through the fruit, just pierce through the skin such that fruit should remain in one piece after you have made your cuts.
2. Cut the top and the bottom: Skin will come off and the seeds should be visible. Make sure very few seeds come off with the skin. If there is excess skin sticking to the body peel that away too.
3. Score the fruit: Cut the fruit along one of the exposed star-like-lines vertically. Don't pierce all the way through. This is just so you can "unwind" the fruit later.
4. Pry apart the pomegranate: With your thumbs in the initial center cut, pry apart the pomegranate into two halves, or disks. With the vertical incision you just made, pry open each disk, exposing a line of pomegranate in front of you. Each row of pomegranate will display several large chunks of the juicy, tasty seeds.
