This platter is so easy and pretty looking because of the color of the pomegrante seeds. I served it just recently for guests there wasn't a "seed" left!! My guests loved the sweetness of the pomegrante seeds and the sharpness of the cheese coupled with the buttery crackers!! Easy entertaining and pretty too!!

How To Make fruit & cheese platter

  • 1
    Cut your cheese into small slices. I usually cut the block vertically then slice each half. Set aside. Cut your pomegrante in half. Start gently prying out the pomegrante seeds, they literally pop out. It's a tad messy and your hands will taint red for a minute or so, not to worry, it's not permanent!! ;-) Make sure you don't get any white pithe in the bowl your adding the seeds to. The pithe is very bitter. **Note: since your already working on the first pomegrante, you might want to prepare a second one so you will have enough seeds to replenish the platter later**

    Place the the pomegrante seeds in the middle of your platter. Add your sliced cheese around the seeds. Then place the crackers ontop of the cheese closer to your seeds. Place a pretty litle spoon for scooping up the seeds. Sit back and enjoy the compliments!!
