2. Pomegranate Syrup (Molasses)
Pomegranate syrup, also known as pomegranate molasses, is a thick, tangy-sweet concentrate that lasts for months. Use it as a salad dressing, glaze, or dessert topping.
What You’ll Need:
4 cups fresh pomegranate juice (about 8–10 pomegranates)
1/2 cup sugar (optional, adjust to taste)
2 tablespoons lemon juice
Steps:
Extract the juice from fresh pomegranates using a juicer or by blending the arils and straining them.
In a saucepan, combine the pomegranate juice, sugar, and lemon juice.
Simmer the mixture over low heat, stirring occasionally, until it thickens into a syrupy consistency (about 1–1.5 hours).
Let it cool and pour into a sterilized jar.
Store in the refrigerator for up to 12 months.
How to Use: Drizzle over roasted vegetables, ice cream, pancakes, or use it to enhance marinades and sauces.
Why These Methods Work
Freezing locks in nutrients and freshness, making pomegranate arils a year-round treat.
Syrup concentrates the flavors, creating a versatile ingredient that’s even richer than fresh juice.
Now you can enjoy the deliciousness and health benefits of pomegranates for an entire year—no waste, no hassle, just pure, delicious goodness! 🌟
