Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Pomegranate juice
- 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
Instructions
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the pomegranate juice, granulated sugar, and fresh lemon juice.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir until the sugar dissolves completely.
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer uncovered.
Stir occasionally and allow the liquid to reduce for about 60-70 minutes or until it thickens to a syrup-like consistency. The mixture should reduce to about 1 to 1.5 cups.
Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the molasses to cool completely. It will continue to thicken as it cools.
Once cooled, transfer the pomegranate molasses into a sterilized jar or airtight container.
Store in the refrigerator for up to 6 months and use as needed for marinades, salad dressings, or as a drizzle over desserts.
