Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups pomegranate juice
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the pomegranate juice, granulated sugar, and lemon juice.
Whisk the ingredients together until the sugar is fully dissolved.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Reduce the heat to low and allow the mixture to simmer for 25-30 minutes, stirring occasionally. The syrup should reduce by about half and thicken slightly.
To check if the syrup is ready, dip the back of a spoon into the syrup and swipe your finger across it. If it leaves a clear trail, the syrup has thickened properly.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the syrup cool for 10-15 minutes. The syrup will continue to thicken as it cools.
Pour the cooled syrup into a clean, airtight jar or bottle. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
Use the pomegranate syrup as a topping for pancakes, waffles, ice cream, or yoghurt, or incorporate it into drinks and desserts.
