Pomegranate Molasses

Condiments

Ingredients

- 1 litre pomegranate juice - ¼ cup lemon juice (about 1 large lemon) - ¼ cup granulated sugar, add and adjust as needed

Method

  1. Transfer the pomegranate juice to a medium sized saucepan. Add the lemon juice and a little sugar. Taste and adjust the sugar, keep in mind that the flavour will intensify.
  2. Allow the mixture to come to a simmer over low heat. It is important that the mixture does not come to a rapid boil as that will make the pomegranate molasses taste overcooked and the flavour will not be as vibrant.
  3. Keep the mixture at a low simmer for 2-3 hours, stirring occasionally
  4. The pomegranate molasses is ready once it has reduced down to a thick syrup that easily coats the back of a spoon. 
  5. Cool and store in a clean air tight jar in fridge. The mixture will still be runny, but don't worry, it will thicken as it cools.
