A rich, tangy-sweet pomegranate molasses made by slowly reducing pomegranate juice with sugar and lemon. Perfect for drizzling over savory dishes or adding depth to dressings and marinades.

Ingredients

  • 4 cups pure pomegranate juice
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice

Instructions

  1. In a medium-sized saucepan over medium-high heat, combine the pomegranate juice, sugar, and lemon juice. Stir well until the sugar dissolves.
  2. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer and leave uncovered.
  3. Simmer until reduced to about one-quarter of its original volume and thickened to a syrupy consistency, about 90 minutes. Test by coating the back of a spoon; it should leave a light coating.
  4. Remove from heat and allow to cool to room temperature.
  5. Transfer to a clean, airtight jar or bottle and store in the refrigerator for up to 3 months.

Notes

  • Stir occasionally during simmering to prevent sticking.
  • Adjust sweetness by slightly increasing or decreasing sugar.
  • Great for salad dressings, marinades, roasted vegetables, or drizzling over meats.
  • Consistency thickens further as it cools.
  • Use a glass jar for best storage results.
