pomegranate Jam or jelly (mermelada de granada)

I love pomegranates and we are already at the end of winter but I still found pomegranates .
Usually I freeze someones (the seeds) and I also make some jam.
I found a nice recipe in a book of Cenk Sonmezsoy (The artful baker) I always like his recipes because I follow his blog called Cafe Fernando many years and his recipes are awesome.. He is from Turkey.
You can look his blog Cafe Fernando here many of his recipes are in his blo.
I know all you live in the northern hemisphere will have pomegranates now and if you can make this jam I think you will love it.
