# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It looks like you spent hours in the kitchen when really you just needed a sharp knife and 25 minutes.
  • Every fruit here is naturally sweet and alive—no cooking, no stress, just pure flavor.
  • It works for fancy dinners or casual afternoons, and people always ask how you made it sound so simple.
02 -
  • If you add lime juice to prevent browning, use a spray bottle and mist lightly—too much liquid pools and makes the platter look wet rather than fresh.
  • The pomegranate halves can leak juice if you're not careful when arranging; place them on a small plate or shallow bowl nestled into the center, and everything stays tidy.
03 -
  • Buy your pomegranate a day or two ahead so it's at peak ripeness and easier to halve cleanly—a ripe one cuts like butter.
  • If berries are soft, add them last and handle them barely at all; they're worth the extra care because they bruise easily but look heartbreaking when they do.
