Homemade pomegranate molasses

1 servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
2 Dozen Pomegranates
(they should be large; red and a little
Soft on the blossom end when pressed with
The thumb)
Or substitute 6 cups pomegranate juice
1 cup Sugar
1 cup Lemon juice

Directions

Wash the pomegranates. Roll them around until they soften, then break up the pomegranates under water to keep juice from spurting. Give a good bang with the back of the knife to loosen the seeds of each section. To squeeze out the juice: Wrap a handful of seeds in cheesecloth, then use your hands to squeeze into a bowl to obtain the rich, shiny liquid. Repeat with the remaining seeds. (Do not use a juicer. Pomegranate juice stains are difficult to remove, and the bitter, tannic white part of the fruit gets mixed in and mars the flavor.) Place pomegranate juice, sugar and lemon juice in an enameled saucepan and slowly reduce by boiling to 2 cups. Cool, bottle, and keep refrigerated. This recipe yields 1 pint pomegranate molasses.
