Method

Peel the pears (carefully), then cut into thick slices or wedges. Peel the oranges and cut into membrane-free wedges. Cut open the pomegranate and pick out the fleshy seeds (discard everything else). Put all the fruit into a stainless-steel or ceramic bowl, add the remaining ingredients, and leave to macerate for an hour. Serve well chilled.
