Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Pomegranate juice
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 1 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Stevia or erythritol (optional)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the pomegranate juice and lemon juice. Heat over medium heat until warm.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water until fully dissolved to form a slurry.
Slowly whisk the cornstarch slurry into the warm pomegranate mixture. Ensure there are no lumps.
Continue to cook the mixture, stirring constantly, until it thickens to a sauce-like consistency, about 10 minutes.
Once thickened, reduce the heat to low and add the vanilla extract. Stir well to combine.
Taste the sauce; if you prefer it sweeter, add the optional stevia or erythritol and stir to dissolve.
Remove from heat and let the sauce cool. It will continue to thicken as it cools.
Transfer the sauce to a serving bowl or a jar for storage. Serve warm or refrigerate until ready to use.
