Notes

How to freeze pomegranate seeds
Once you have de-seeded your pomegranate, make sure the seeds are dry. Arrangue them in a single layer baking sheet lined with wax paper. Place in freezer for 2 hours or until frozen. Once frozen put them into a freezer bag and store them in the freezer.
Pom seeds and juice can be frozen for up 6 months in airtight containers.
