Pomegranate Molasses

INGREDIENTS

• 4 cups pomegranate juice
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice

Directions:

1. Heat pomegranate juice, sugar, lemon to a simmer: In a large, wide, uncovered saucepan, heat pomegranate juice, sugar, and lemon juice on medium high until the sugar has dissolved and the juice simmers. Reduce heat just enough to maintain a simmer.
2. Reduce to a syrup: Simmer for about an hour, or until the juice has a syrupy consistency, and has reduced to 1 to 1 1/4 cups.
3. If you want your pomegranate molasses to be sweeter, add more sugar to taste, while you are cooking it.
4. Store in a jar, chilled: Pour out into a jar. Let cool. Store chilled in the refrigerator.
