Ingredients
 

  • 2 pomegranates
  • 1 cup chopped blanched almonds
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 4 drops orange-flower water or rosewater
  • dried rosebuds or rose petals to decorate optional

Instructions

  • Break open the pomegranates and carefully remove the sacs enclosing the juice and seeds. Discard all the white parts of the fruit; they are very bitter.
  • Place pomegranate in a bowl. Carefully stir in the almonds, sugar, and orange-flower or rosewater, taking care not to break the sacs.
  • Divide the mixture among 4 dessert bowls or sundae glasses. Sprinkle with the rosebuds or rose petals, and serve chilled.
