Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Pomegranate juice
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 tablespoon Balsamic vinegar
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
Instructions
In a medium-sized saucepan, pour in the pomegranate juice, honey, and balsamic vinegar.
Add the salt and ground black pepper to the saucepan and stir to combine.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring occasionally.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer uncovered, stirring frequently.
Continue to simmer the sauce for 12-15 minutes or until the liquid reduces by half and becomes thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and allow the reduction to cool slightly. The sauce will thicken more as it cools.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding a pinch more salt or pepper if desired.
Transfer the reduction sauce to a small serving dish or a storage container if not using immediately.
Drizzle the warm sauce over your chosen dish (e.g., roasted meat, vegetables, or dessert), or store it in the refrigerator for up to one week.
