How to Make Homemade Pomegranate Syrup
- **Juice the Pomegranates:** Cut 4-6 large pomegranates in half and extract the juice using a citrus reamer or juicer. Aim for approximately 2 cups of juice.
- **Strain the Juice:** Line a fine-mesh sieve or strainer with cheesecloth. Gently pour the pomegranate juice through the strainer to remove seeds and pulp.
- **Combine Ingredients:** In a small saucepan, combine the strained pomegranate juice (2 cups) with 1 cup granulated sugar.
- **Bring to a Boil:** Over medium-high heat, bring the mixture to a rolling boil, stirring constantly to dissolve the sugar.
- **Simmer and Reduce:** Reduce the heat to low, and simmer for 20-25 minutes, stirring frequently, until the syrup has reduced to approximately 1 cup and has thickened slightly. The syrup should coat the back of a spoon.
- **Cool and Store:** Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the syrup cool completely. Transfer the cooled syrup to a clean, airtight jar or container. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 months.
