Love pomegranates and Im sure you noticed that :)

And I love to freeze the juice and seeds for Christmas because in this time are a lot of recipes.
I made this Ice cream some days ago, we are still are in winter but he have some lovely days with a lot of sun.

Anyway if you don't have still pomegranates you can use store bought pomegranate juice instead of deseeding pomegranate.

Notes

How to freeze pomegranate seeds
Once you have de-seeded your pomegranate, make sure the seeds are dry. Arrangue them in a single layer baking sheet lined with wax paper. Place in freezer for 2 hours or until frozen. Once frozen put them into a freezer bag and store them in the freezer.
Pom  seeds  and juice can be frozen for up 6 months in airtight containers.
