We all want to make Rosh Hashanah feel special. Whether beautiful challahs are your thing or you love creating a magnificent centerpiece, there’s always a way to add something beautiful and personal to the table that feels doable for you.

The one thing most of us have in common? There’s never enough time to do it all.

That’s why I wanted to come up with a creative Rosh Hashanah idea that was incredibly simple, quick, and could be added to something you’re already making or buying.

Enter these petite pomegranate flowers. They’re dainty, almost laughably easy to make, and can be placed on Bundt cakes, cookies, or just about anything else with a sturdy, somewhat flat surface. And because pomegranates are already making their way onto so many Rosh Hashanah tables, you probably have everything you need to make them.

They’re also easy enough for the kids to help with, which makes them even more fun.

I hope these simple little pomegranate flowers add something special to your Rosh Hashanah table, and remind you that sometimes, the smallest details can make the biggest difference.

How to Make Pomegranate Flowers

-Start with a pomegranate. Remove the arils and gently pat them dry with a paper towel. The drier they are, the easier they’ll be to arrange.

-Choose five arils. Pick five similar-sized, nicely shaped arils for each flower.

-Arrange the petals on your dessert of choice. Place the five arils together in a circle, pointed ends facing outward, to create a five-petal flower. Add a mini mint leaf, if desired.

-Repeat!
