You can make this with fresh pomegranate juice, or with commercially produced juice. Taste the juice first, and then decide how much sugar you would like to add to it. If I'm using commercial pomegranate juice, I like to add a dash of lemon juice to amp up the tartness.
Ingredients
4 large pomegranates, or 2 cups of juice
¾ cup sugar
1 teaspoon lemon juice (optional)
Instructions
Cut the pomegranates in half widthways. Use a lemon juicer to squeeze out the juice. Use enough pomegranates until you have 2 cups of juice. Alternatively, you can use 2 cups of bought pomegranate juice.
Place the juice, sugar and the lemon juice (if using) in a saucepan. Bring to a gentle boil, until the sugar has dissolved, then reduce the heat so that the liquid is gently simmering.
Continue to simmer for an hour, or until the liquid has reduced by just over half and the syrup is thick and gloopy. Taste and add more lemon juice if you like your pomegranate molasses tangier.
Pour into a jar and store in the refrigerator.
