Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Fresh pomegranate juice
- 0.5 cup Honey
- 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the pomegranate juice, honey, and apple cider vinegar. Stir the mixture over medium heat until honey is completely dissolved.
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the liquid to reduce slightly.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with water to create a slurry.
Slowly stir the cornstarch slurry into the simmering pomegranate mixture. Continue to simmer and stir until the sauce thickens slightly, approximately 3-5 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the lemon zest and ground black pepper.
Allow the sauce to cool slightly before serving. Serve warm, or let it cool completely and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
