Pineapple and Pomegranate Juice

Did you know that I bought a big pineapple for a good price from a nearby market? Cleaning and cutting pineapple is a messy job and I hate it. Due to this reason, I avoid buying pineapple. But when I came across a very fresh, fragrant, ripe, yellow pineapple at the fruit shop I just pushed aside those initial feelings and was really tempted to buy one.

As I bought this fruit, the entire week became a pineapple week as I made different dishes over the week using pineapple. Few slices of it went to pineapple kesari and few went to pineapple rasam. Making these two dishes were in my mind for a long time and my wish finally got fulfilled. Now after preparing these dishes, I had few slices of pineapple left. So, I mixed it with pomegranate to prepare the Pineapple & Pomegranate Juice. The method of preparation is listed below.
