Ingredients
Ingredients
4 cups pomegranate juice
1/2 C sugar
1/4 C fresh squeezed lemon juice
Procedure
Procedure
In a saucepan, warm the pomegranate juice, sugar, and lemon juice on medium high heat until the sugar has disolved and the juice comes to a simmer. Reduce heat to keep the liquid at a simmer for an hour, until it reduced and becomes syrupy. You'll know when it sticks to the back of a spoon. It should reduce to about 1 to 1 & 1/4 cups. Pour out into a jar and let cool. Store in the refrigerator.
Pomegranate molasses is used in Middle Eastern recipes, such as lentil and eggplant stew, chicken, or muhammara. It is also a lovely addition to cocktails, dressings and glazes.
