Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Pomegranate juice (unsweetened)
- 2 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar
- 1.5 tablespoons Granulated erythritol (or preferred low-carb sweetener)
- 1 clove Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Fresh rosemary, finely chopped
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Xanthan gum (optional for thickening)
Instructions
In a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat, combine pomegranate juice, balsamic vinegar, and granulated erythritol.
Stir the mixture until the erythritol dissolves completely.
Add minced garlic and chopped rosemary to the saucepan, stirring to combine.
Season the mixture with salt and black pepper. Stir well.
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce heat to a simmer.
Simmer the sauce for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it reduces by half and slightly thickens.
If a thicker sauce is desired, sprinkle xanthan gum over the sauce and whisk immediately to avoid clumps.
Remove the sauce from heat and let it cool slightly before transferring to a serving dish or container.
Serve warm or at room temperature. The sauce can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
