Time 40m

Yield 1 cup

Number Of Ingredients 2

2 cups pomegranate juice (or juice of 4-6 pomegranates)
1 cup sugar

Steps:

  • Prepare fresh pomegranate juice:.
  • For 2 cups of juice, cut 4-6 large pomegranates in half and juice them with a citrus reamer or juicer. Pour mixture through a cheesecloth-lined strainer or sieve. Set the juice aside.

  • Reduce heat and simmer about 20 minutes until reduced to 1 cup, stirring frequently.
  • Remove from heat and cool. Store in a tightly closed jar or container in the refrigerator for up to 2 months.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe pomegranates: Look for pomegranates with a deep red color and no blemishes. The heavier the pomegranate, the more juice it will contain.
  • Remove the seeds easily: Cut the pomegranate in half and hold it over a bowl. Use a wooden spoon to hit the back of the pomegranate, and the seeds will fall out into the bowl.
  • Use a cheesecloth or fine-mesh strainer: When straining the pomegranate juice, use a cheesecloth or fine-mesh strainer to remove any solids.
  • Simmer the syrup: Bring the pomegranate juice, sugar, and lemon juice to a simmer over medium heat. Stir constantly until the sugar has dissolved and the syrup has thickened slightly.
  • Store the syrup properly: Store the pomegranate syrup in an airtight jar in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
