Pomegranate, Juiced in its skin

This is a favorite among Iranians, who call the process ablambu. It allows one to drink the juice of a pomegranate without fuss or mess. Choose a good-looking pomegranate with no blemishes or holes in the skin. Then, holding it in both hands with one thumb over the other, start by gently squeezing one of the raised parts of the fruit (there are usually four or five hills and valleys). The idea is to squeeze the seeds inside the skin without bursting the skin. This needs to be done gently and systematically, going around the pomegranate until the whole fruit is soft and squishy.
