Preparation

• Place the juice and sugar in a sauce pan. Stir the juice on high heat till sugar is dissolved. Reduce the heat and keep simmering the juice stirring once in a while.
  Reduce the juice to nearly half. Add a dash of lemon juice.
  Cool and store in a glass bottle.
• Note: I reduced it further coz I wanted a little thicker consistency than it was at that stage.
  Note: Reducing the syrup to one third the amount will yield you pomegranate molasses.
  Note: For making a pom syrup that is to be used for savory purpose, use sour pomegranates and for desserts, use sweeter variety of pomegranates.
