How to Make Pomegranate Molasses
- Combine 2 cups pomegranate juice, 1 cup granulated sugar, and 1/4 cup lemon juice in a heavy-bottomed saucepan. Stir over medium-high heat until the sugar is completely dissolved.
- Reduce the heat to low, maintaining a gentle simmer. Cook uncovered for 90-105 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture has reduced to approximately 1 cup and reaches a thick syrup consistency. A spoon drawn across the bottom should leave a clear trail.
- Remove from heat and let cool completely to room temperature (at least 30 minutes). This allows the molasses to thicken further.
- Strain the molasses through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth to remove any sediment or solids. This step ensures a smooth, refined texture.
- Transfer the cooled pomegranate molasses to a sterilized glass jar or bottle. Refrigerate for at least 24 hours to allow the flavors to meld. Once refrigerated, it will keep for approximately 6 months.
