Steps:

• 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.

• Reduce the heat and cover.
• Simmer for 10 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

GRENADINE SYRUP

Steps:

• Pour roughly half of the pomegranate juice into a saucepan. Heat over medium, taking care to remove from the flame before it boils. Stir in the sugar until dissolved, then add the other half-quart of juice, the rose water and orange flower water. Mix well and decant into a clean bottle to refrigerate. Adding 2 ounces or so of high-proof vodka or Everclear will allow it to keep longer.

POMEGRANATE GRENADINE

POMEGRANATE SYRUP

Steps:

• Combine the juice and sugar (less for savory uses, more for sweeter) in a medium-size pot and bring to a boil over medium-low heat. Pulp or pinkish scum will form on top; it's fine. Do not boil hard or the juice will foam up and spill over.
• Simmer, uncovered, for 45 to 50 minutes, until the syrup has reduced to 1 cup. It will produce glossy pink bubbles that are hard to stir down. It will also thicken as it cools, so do not overcook or it may turn sticky and hard to pour.
• For the best result, pour into a bottle or jar that has been sterilized (boil it and its lid for 10 minutes). The syrup will hold in the refrigerator for about three months.
