Pomegranate Molasses

[cap id="attachment_1819" align="aligncenter" width="300"]A commercial bottle of pomegranate molasses, and the 3 ingredients used for the homemade one[/cap]

I haven't bought pomegranate molasses for the last few years. This recipe keeps incredibly well in a 250ml glass bottle in the fridge (use an empty maple syrup bottle), and I use it straight on all sorts of dishes when the urge grabs me.

It takes a little over an hour to cook, but you will invest just 2 minutes of your time in prep to make it ... so please give this is go, you will love it! Promise!

Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 litre pomegranate juice 100% juice, no added sugar
  • 100 g pure maple syrup
  • 30 g fresh lemon juice

Method
 

  1. Place all the ingredients into the TM bowl and cook 45 minutes / Varoma / speed 2 / no MC / basket on lid
  2. Lift lid and check volume as it will have reduced greatly (you are aiming to reduce liquid to 250g which it will not have done by this stage, but you need to start to monitor the reduction before continuing)
  3. Continue cooking 10 minutes / Varoma / Speed 2 / no MC / basket on lid and check again, and then continue at 5 minute intervals until the liquid reduces to 250g (which is half way down from the 500g mark on the inside of the ™ bowl ... it takes exactly 60 mins in my TM31 machine)
  4. Pour into a glass bottle and allow to cool before sealing and storing in the fridge
  5. Keeps very well for a few months - if not longer (we usually use it up within a few months, but I suspect it will hold longer by being stored in the fridge)
