Serves: 5
Slice Off The Ends
Slice off the top and bottom of the fruit just down to the juicy pulp. You should see a small pinwheel of fruit.
Remove The Rind And Pith
Stand the fruit on one flat end and, using a sharp paring knife, slice off the rind and all the whitish pith in curved, vertical strips. Cut just to where the juice and the pith meet. Turn the fruit as you go, following its curve as you slice downward.
Cut Out The Segments
Proceed with the following cuts over a bowl to catch the juice and segments: Slice along the length of one side of a membrane dividing two sections just to the tapered inner edge. Repeat on the other side of the segment, separating the fruit from the membrane. Give the knife a slight twist to pop out the clean section. Repeat with all remaining sections. It gets tricky on the last one, but you can always forego the last cut and just peel the section away from the membrane. Cut the sections into smaller pieces or leave whole. Give the remaining membrane network a good squeeze--there's always a little juice left in there.
