Ingredients
- 4 cups pomegranate juice
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
Directions
For Syrup: 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 1/2 cups, approximately 50 minutes. It should be the consistency of 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.
For Molasses: 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. 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.

Gave my sister a bottle of syrup. She reduced it further, added dijon mustard and served it as a sauce for the rib roast (cooked rare!. Our nieces and nephews call it the 'bomb'.

Yes, I too created pomegranate candy the first time, ooops! Second time's a charm. I think I stopped it at syrup instead of molasses, but better safe than sorry. Didn't want to ruin another bottle of this juice that is not exactly cheap to begin with. Thanks, Alton Brown, for another great recipe!

Wow. I've used this on a pork rib roast, which turned out great. Tonight I made Rachal Ray's Bacon Wrapped Chicken Breasts with Bleu Cheese and Pecans and used this as a glaze: Also great. Can't wait to find more uses for it.
