Notes

  • Use pomegranate juice that's made 100% with pomegranate and contains no additional ingredients. There is no need for any sweetener in this recipe. 
  • If using fresh pomegranates to make this recipe, deseed them using my tutorial and then blend the arils in a blender for 2-3 minutes. Run the juice through a fine mesh sieve placed on a bowl to separate the small bits. Use the fresh pomegranate juice to make pomegranate molasses.
