Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Pomegranate juice (unsweetened)
- 2 tablespoons Swerve (granular sugar substitute)
- 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoon Xanthan gum
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 0.25 teaspoon Garlic powder
Instructions
In a small saucepan, combine pomegranate juice, Swerve, and apple cider vinegar.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir to dissolve the Swerve.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and let it cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Slowly sprinkle in the xanthan gum while continuously whisking to prevent clumping. The sauce will begin to thicken.
Add the salt, black pepper, lemon zest, and garlic powder to the saucepan.
Continue to cook for an additional 3–5 minutes, or until the sauce reaches your desired consistency.
Remove from heat and let the sauce cool slightly. It will thicken more as it cools.
Transfer the sauce to a serving container or storage jar. Cool completely if storing for later use.
Serve as a sauce over grilled meats, a dressing for salads, or a dip for veggies.
