Pomegranate Molasses is a syrup used in Middle Eastern cooking. It has a bright ruby red color, and its sweet and sour flavor goes well with so many other ingredients. It is commonly available in Middle Eastern markets, but is easily made at home if you can get pomegranate juice, now easily found in supermarkets.

POMEGRANATE SYRUP



Pomegranate Syrup image

Pomegranate syrup begins with juice: Grind the arils (the seeds plus their red pulp) in a food mill, then pass the juice through cheesecloth. Or grind them briefly in a blender and strain through a cheesecloth. The latter can cloud the juice but it does not affect the flavor. A large pomegranate will produce from three-quarters to one cup of juice.

Time 1h

Yield 1 cup

Number Of Ingredients 2

2 cups pomegranate juice
1/2 to 3/4 cup granulated sugar

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.
