Step by Step Method
Step 1

Step 2
4 cups pomegranate juice
Step 3
1/2 cup sugar
Step 4
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice.
Step 5

Once the sugar has dissolved, reduce the heat to medium-low and cook until the mixture has reduced to 1 cup, approximately 70 minutes. It should be the consistency of thick syrup. Remove from the heat and allow to cool in the saucepan 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.
