Pomegranate molasses is a tangy sweet syrup common in Middle Eastern cuisine: drizzle it over meat, fish, salads, and more!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups 100% pomegranate juice*
  • 1 tablespoon sugar, plus more to taste

Instructions

  1. Place the pomegranate juice in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer where it is gently bubbling. Simmer for about 45 minutes to 1 hour, until it is lightly thickened and reduced to about 1/2 cup. Stir in the sugar. Taste and add more sugar if desired (the goal is a tangy sweet pop, like a balsamic reduction). 
  2. Pour into a jar and allow to cool: it will thicken more as it cools. Refrigerate for up to 6 months. 

Notes

*Make sure it’s 100% juice, not sweetened. Double the recipe to yield 1 cup. We like making it in small batches since we don’t go through it very quickly.
