Ingredients
- 4 cups pomegranate juice - fresh or store bought
- ¼ - ½ cup pure cane sugar, coconut sugar, maple syrup, agave or organic honey
- juice from one lemon
Instructions
- Add the pomegranate juice, sweetener, and fresh lemon juice to a medium sized pot set over medium heat. Whisk well to combine and bring to a low boil. Tiny bubbles should form around the edge of the pot. Reduce heat to a low simmer.
- Continue to simmer, stirring occasionally to prevent the sugar from burning to the bottom of the pot for about 60-75 minutes, until it's reached a sticky, syrupy consistency. You will see bubbles forming as it reduces and you can test it with a spoon. It should be sticky but still run off the spoon in a slow stream. DO NOT OVERCOOK or you will end up with brown molasses.
- Transfer molasses to a clean mason jar to cool completely. Then seal with a tight fitting lid and before refrigerating.
