Ingredients

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.

    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.

    Why buy pricey pomegranate molasses when you can make it this easily and have it taste this good? I bought organic pomegranate juice at Trader Joe's, cooked as directed, watched volume rather than just thickness, and it came out perfectly.
