There are plenty of online videos showing how to deseed a pomegranate, but the easiest way we've found is to simply cut the pomegranate in half, push out the center as much as you can, and hit it with a wooden spoon until the seeds fall out.

Ingredients

1 cup water
1 cup sugar
1 cup lemon juice
1 cup fresh blueberries
1 cup fresh raspberries
2 cups pomegranate arils
1/2 cup maraschino cherries (optional)

Preparation

In a large sauce pan, combine water and sugar.
Bring to a boil; then, reduce heat and simmer until sugar is dissolved.
Remove from heat and allow to cool to room temperature; add lemon juice.
Combine blueberries, raspberries, and pomegranate arils in a mixing bowl, and pour the lemon simple syrup over it.
Refrigerate for approximately two hours.
If flavor is too tart, add maraschino cherries for sweetness.
