Pomegranate Molasses Recipe

Ingredients

4 cups pomegranate juice (you can use the stuff called pom in the fruit section of the supermarket)
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup lemon juice

Method

In a large, uncovered saucepan, heat pomegranate juice, sugar, and lemon juice on medium high until the sugar has dissolved and the juice simmers. Reduce heat just enough to maintain a simmer. Simmer for about an hour, or until the juice has a syrupy consistency, and has reduced to 1 to 1 1/4 cups. Pour out into a jar. Let cool. Store chilled in the refrigerator.

If you want your pomegranate molasses to be sweeter, add more sugar to taste, while you are cooking it.


This keeps for ages in the fridge and is fantastic in salad dressings and sauces.
