How to Make Homemade Pomegranate Molasses

  1. Pour 4 cups of pomegranate juice into a medium saucepan.
  2. Add 1/2 cup granulated sugar and 1/4 cup lemon juice to the saucepan.
  3. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
  4. Reduce the heat to low and continue to simmer uncovered, stirring frequently, for approximately 35-40 minutes, or until the mixture has reduced to about 1 cup of thick, syrupy molasses. (The cooking time may vary depending on your stove and the consistency of your pomegranate juice).
  5. Remove from heat and let cool completely. The molasses will thicken further as it cools.
  6. Transfer the cooled pomegranate molasses to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld. It will keep in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks.
