How to Make Pomegranate Jelly And Cream Cheese Sandwiches

  1. Prepare garnish: Rinse and set aside 1 tablespoon of pomegranate arils per sandwich.
  2. Score 1 fresh pomegranate (approximately 1 cup arils) and submerge in a bowl of water.
  3. Gently break open the pomegranate underwater to release the arils. The arils will sink, and the membrane will float.
  4. Skim off the membrane and strain the arils.
  5. Place the strained arils in a separate bowl.
  6. Set aside 4 tablespoons of the pomegranate arils for garnish.
  7. Lay out 4 slices of bread on a flat surface.
  8. Spread 2 tablespoons of cream cheese evenly onto each slice of bread.
  9. Top each cream cheese-coated slice with 1 tablespoon of pomegranate jelly.
  10. Carefully place another slice of bread on top to create a sandwich.
  11. Use a cookie cutter to create fun shapes (optional).
  12. Garnish each sandwich with 1 tablespoon of reserved pomegranate arils.
