Ingredients

4 cups pomegranate juice fresh
1/2 cup white sugar
2 tbsp lemon juice fresh

Instructions

Pour pomegranate juice in a saucepan and add sugar and lemon juice. Cook at medium heat uncovered and stir all the time until the sugar is melted. If it starts to boil and the sugar is not completely melted, reduce the heat and keep stirring until all the sugar has melted.
Cook for at least one hour and stir every 10 minutes. The more you stir and the better is your saucepan, the less sugar will stick or burn.
The pomegranate molasses is cooked when the liquid is gone and when you can coat the back of the spoon with it. The molasses will get even thicker as it cools.
