Preparation

Step 1

For Syrup:
1. Place the pomegranate juice, sugar and lemon juice
in a 4-quart saucepan set over medium heat. Cook,
stirring occasionally, until the sugar has completely
dissolved.

2. Once the sugar has dissolved, reduce the heat to
medium-low and cook until the mixture has reduced
to 1 1/2 cups, approximately 50 minutes. It should
be the consistency of syrup.

3. Remove from the heat and allow to cool in the sauce-
pan for 30 minutes. Transfer to a glass jar and allow
to cool completely before covering and storing in the
refrigerator for up to 6 months.
