Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Fresh 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 on medium heat and stir until the sugar is fully dissolved.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, then reduce the heat to low.
Let the mixture simmer uncovered for about 50–60 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens and reduces by about two-thirds. The final consistency should coat the back of a spoon.
Once reduced, remove the saucepan from heat and let the syrup cool completely. The syrup will thicken further as it cools.
Pour the cooled pomegranate syrup into a clean, sterilized jar or bottle and store it in the refrigerator for up to 1 month.
Use the pomegranate syrup as a topping for desserts, a sweetener for drinks, or a glaze for savory dishes.
