Transform your kitchen into a flavor haven with this simple and versatile Pomegranate Syrup recipe. Made with just three wholesome ingredients—fresh pomegranate juice, granulated sugar, and a splash of lemon juice—this syrup captures the bold, tangy essence of pomegranate in every drop. Slow-simmered to perfection, the syrup thickens into a lusciously glossy texture, ideal for drizzling over pancakes, waffles, yogurt, or ice cream. Its vibrant ruby hue and naturally sweet-tart profile also make it a stunning addition to cocktails, mocktails, or baked goods. Ready in just 35 minutes, this homemade pomegranate syrup is your new go-to for elevating both sweet and savory dishes.
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.
