Pomegranate Syrup or Molasses image

I made my own molasses for a vinaigrette recipe. The yield amount will depend on whether you are making syrup or molasses. Yields: 1 1/2 C syrup or 1 C molasses. Cooking time noted differs for both. Approx. 50-70 mins. Recipe courtesy Alton Brown, 2006

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.
