Dice the jicama and the mango that were peeled; then set aside.
Remove the seeds and the veins of 2 serrano peppers.

When the Onion is about to be Ready

Also add in the bowl:

The Pomegranate Seeds that were reserved.
The Jicama dices that were cut.
The Mango dices that were cut.
The Serrano Peppers that were minced.
The juice of 1 Lime.
1/2 tablespoon of Salt.

Mix very well the bowl ingredients with a mixing spatula, then reserve.

Back to the Onion

Verify that the onion that was left resting has a soft flavor; if not leave it resting for a longer time.
Transfer from the glass to a strainer the onion that was dephlegmated and remove the excess of lime juice.
Transfer from the strainer to the bowl the onion dices that were dephlegmated.
Mix the guacamole with pomegranate, jicama and mango; with the mixing spatula.
Insert in the guacamole with pomegranate, jicama and mango; the avocado pit that was reserved.

The avocado pit serves to preserve the guacamole with pomegranate, jicama and mango for a longer time.
