Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Pomegranate juice
- 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
Instructions
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the pomegranate juice, granulated sugar, and lemon juice.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir the mixture until the sugar dissolves completely.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, then reduce the heat to low.
Allow the syrup to cook uncovered for 25–35 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. The liquid should reduce by about half and become thickened.
To test for readiness, dip the back of a spoon into the syrup. If it coats the spoon and drips off slowly, it’s done.
Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the syrup to cool down to room temperature. It will thicken further as it cools.
Pour the syrup into a clean, airtight jar or bottle and store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
Use the pomegranate syrup as a topping, an ingredient in drinks, or a glaze for meats and vegetables.
