Pomegranates for syrup should be chosen very carefully, feeling and examining each fruit. It should be tight, firm, without dents or damage.
The peel should have a uniform color. Too dark a fruit can hide overripe seeds, and, conversely, if the peel is too light, this may indicate that the pomegranate was plucked from the tree too early.
The easiest way to peel a pomegranate is to do it in a clean bowl full of water. It is necessary to divide the pomegranate into 4 parts, lower it into water and carefully select the grains of the fruit with your fingers.
