Gretchens Get The Band Aids Pomegranate Salad Recipes

GRETCHEN'S GET THE BAND AIDS ... POMEGRANATE SALAD

Steps:

• The easist way to remove the seeds from the pomegranates is to cut each end, slightly score the skin of the fruit. Place it in a bowl of water and gently pull apart. Rub your thumbs along the seed pods to remove them. The seeds will float to the bottom and all the 'junk' will float to the top.
• Add all fruit (save juice) to a large mixing bowl. (except bananas, those you will add right before serving).
• Put all juices from fruit into a sauce pan.
• In a separate small bowl make a mixture of sugar, corn starch, and add a little water like you are making thickening for a gravy.
• Bring the fruit juices to a boil and mix in thickening.
• Mix it really well and let cool COMPLETELY it should really thicken up, if not go ahead and add a little more.
• After it has completely cooled add it to the fruit.
• Whip your cream adding lots of sugar as you go, make sure it is good and sweet.
• When you are ready to serve, add your cream and bananas to the rest of the fruit.
• *this makes a huge salad so if you want smaller cut recipe in half.
