A recipe for a rich grenadine syrup

Introduction

I wrote this otherwise I would forget it, this is literally just a recipe for some grenadine. I don't know why you're reading this.

Ingredients

  • 1 Volume of Pomegranate Juice
  • 2 Volumes of Sugar
  • Pomegranate molasses (optional)
  • Orange blossom water (optional)

Instructions

  1. Add the pomegranate juice and sugar to a saucepan
  2. Heat on medium heat until the sugar is dissolved (mix as you go)
  3. Once the sugar is dissolved, add the pomegranate molasses (Roughly a soup spoon per litre of juice)
  4. Heat until low boil, then leave for a minute (This is for germ killing, though I have no idea if it is actually needed)
  5. Add a couple splashes of orange blossom water
  6. Let cool, then bottle.

Notes

  • Since this is a rich syrup (2:1 Sugar to water), it should be shelf stable for who knows how long.
  • The yield of the syrup is roughly equal to the amount of sugar. e.g. 2 cups sugar, 1 cup juice = 2 cups syrup.
