How to make your own Pomegranate Molasses
Pomegranate Molasses is a thick, tart and flavoful ingredient that has so many possibilities. It's lovely drizzled over roasted vegetables, or as a glaze on poultry. Instead of hunting for this elusive ingredient, you can easily make your own-- and I'll show you how.
Servings 1 cup
Ingredients
- 4 cups pomegranate juice
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice freshly squeezed
Instructions
- Place the pomegranate juice, sugar and lemon juice in a 4-quart saucepan set over medium heat.
- Cook, stirring occasionally, until the sugar has completely dissolved.
- Once the sugar has dissolved, reduce the heat to medium-low and cook until the mixture has reduced to 1 cup, approximately 70 minutes. (or more). It should be the consistency of thick syrup.
- Remove from the heat and allow to cool in the saucepan for 30 minutes.
- Transfer to a glass jar and allow to cool completely before covering and storing in the refrigerator for up to 6 months.
