Cut off the top of the pomegranate where it was attached to the tree; just enough to see the inside structure.
Using a sharp knife and the fruit as a guide, cut about 1/2" of the outer peel where each section of membrane separates the fruit.
Pull each section down, separating all of them from each other. You might have to cut the first section a bit more until it's easy to pull apart from the larger piece of fruit.
Use your fingers to gently rub the seeds off of the fruit; removing pieces of the white membrane as necessary to expose more seeds.
No fuss and no mess!
