POMEGRANATE MOLASSES

Ingredients

  • 1 litre pomegranate juice (see notes)
  • ¼ cup sugar

Instructions

  • Pour the pomegranate juice into a saucepan. Add sugar and stir to dissolve. Place the saucepan on the stove over a medium-high heat.
  • Cook for anywhere between 45-60 minutes, stirring occasionally. You want it to reduce until it coats the back of a ladle and forms a thick syrup (it will continue to thicken as it cools and sits in the fridge so use your best judgement here).
  • Once it has reduced, set aside to cool completely. Decant into a glass/steel jar and refrigerate. Keeps well refrigerated for up to a month.

Notes

- yield: approx 1/2 cup
- I used the ‘Real’ brand of pomegranate juice in this recipe. It has 100 grams of added sugar. If you’re going to be using a different brand, calculate accordingly and add more/less sugar.
- You can also use freshly squeezed pomegranate juice in this recipe. Add 3/4 th cup of sugar for 1 litre of fresh juice.
