Pomegranate Grenadine

Step 1

Make Pomegranate Molasses: In a small saucepan, combine 60g Pomegranate Juice, 5g Sugar, and 2g citric acid or the juice from 1 half of a lemon

Step 2

Over medium-low heat, stir the mixture constantly until sugar is melted.

Step 3

Allow the mixture to reduce over low heat for about 20-30 minutes, stirring often and scraping the sides of the pot so that none of the mixture crystallizes onto the sides of the pan.

Step 4

When the mixture has reduced about 50%-75% you can remove from the heat.

Step 5

Assemble the Grenadine: In the same saucepan with the homemade molasses (or 2 Tablespoons of store-bought pom. molasses), combine the rest of the sugar and pomegranate juice.

Step 6

Stir until the sugar is completely dissolved. You may need to pop this back onto the stove over low heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, to help the sugar melt.

Step 7

Allow syrup to cool before adding 1 barspoon or .25 teaspoon of Rose Water (or Orange Blossom Water). After tasting your grenadine, you can decide If you'd like to add another barspoon of Rose or Orange Blossom Water.

Step 8

Store in an airtight container, keep refrigerated(or frozen), and enjoy!
