In a medium-sized saucepan over medium-high heat, combine the pomegranate juice, sugar, and lemon juice. Stir the mixture well to dissolve the sugar.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Allow it to simmer uncovered.
Simmer the mixture until it reduces to a thick, syrupy consistency about a quarter of the amount, about 90 minutes. To check the consistency, place a small amount of the molasses on a spoon and let it cool slightly. It should have a syrupy texture and coat the back of the spoon. You’ll get about 8 ounces.
Allow the pomegranate molasses cool to room temperature. Pour the cooled pomegranate molasses into a clean, airtight jar or bottle for storage and store in the fridge for up to 3 months.
- My Top Tip: Keep an eye on the heat. Adjust the heat if the mixture boils too vigorously. Try to avoid a rolling boil as that will cause splattering and make it difficult to maintain desired consistency.
- Storage: Allow the pomegranate molasses to cool to room temperature. Then, pour the cooled molasses into a clean, airtight jar or bottle for storage and store in the refrigerator for up to 3 months.
- Freezing: Freeze pomegranate molasses for up to 6 months! Just make sure your jar has enough headspace to allow room for expansion. You can also pour the molasses into an ice cube tray for small individual servings.
