For The Pomegranate Molasses
Ingredients:
- 4 cups pomegranate juice (POM brand recommended)
- 2/3 cups white granulated sugar
- juice from 1 lemon
Directions:
- Mix the pomegranate juice, sugar, and lemon together in a saucepot. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring as needed.
- Lower heat enough to keep the mixture at a very low boil until mixture has reduced to about 1 1/4 cups, stirring more frequently as the mixture reduces. The cooking process will take 50-90 minutes.
- The pomegranate molasses will thicken as it cools. It can be stored, covered, in the refrigerator for up to six months. Use in baking, as a glaze for roasted vegetables, or mixed into fruit drinks or other beverages of choice.
