Mmmm..mmm, what a treat! Ingredients:
4 slices whole wheat bread |
8 tablespoons cream cheese (4 oz.) |
4 tablespoons pomegranate jelly |
1/4 cup pomegranate arils (from 1 large pomegranates) |
Directions:
1. Prepare garnish:.
2. Score 1 fresh pomegranate and place in a bowl of water. Break open the pomegranate under water to free the arils (seed sacs).

(Refrigerate or freeze remaining arils for another use.)
3. Place 4 slices of bread on a flat surface.
4. Spread each slice of bread with 2 tablespoons of cream cheese.
5. Cover each cream cheese-coated slice of bread with 1 tablespoon of Crimson Pomegranate Jelly.

7. Decorate each sandwich with 1 tablespoon of arils.
