Ready in:5min
- Bring the pomegranate juice, sugar and lemon juice to a simmer in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Once the sugar has dissolved, reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until the juice has reduced to 350ml, about 1 hour. Stir the syrup frequently as it thickens to keep it from burning. When the syrup is done, allow it to cool to room temperature, then pour into a glass jar and keep in the refrigerator.

I have friends in southeastern Turkey and each family makes this in their home each year. They love it drizzled on a salad with olive oil and lemon. But there, they only reduce the pomegranate juice plain. - 13 Jun 2009 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
I made this recipe when I had some left over pomegranate juice that I would've thrown out. It cooked down very well to a good syrup. It was very sticky though so be careful! Maybe I would rate this higher if I liked pomegranate, but the taste wasn't my thing. Don't let that turn you off though. I encourage anyone with some leftover pomegranate juice to try this recipe, just to see if it suits their tastes. (I would make a small batch first, then make more if you like it.) - 26 Jun 2008 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
