Instructions
To open the pomegranate cut the top off, then score down the sides to pry it open.
Put the pieces in a bowl of water and gently loosen the arils, which should sink to the bottom while the membrane floats to the top.
Pour off the water and membrane.
Pit the cherries and chop, reserving 4 cherries to decorate the top.
Combine 1 c. each of the arils and cherries in a sauce pan and add 3 T of pomegranate juice, or water if you don't have any pomegranate juice handy.
Bring to a boil and cook for 15 minutes to soften the fruit.
Let the fruit cool for 30 minutes.
Put a layer of fruit on the bottom of a mason jar or container, and top with 1/4 c. yogurt.
Continue alternating layers until you get to the top of the container.
Add a dollop of yogurt to the top to hold one of the reserved cherries, and sprinkle granola around the top.
