Pomegranate Molasses

Difficulty: Easy
Prep time: 20 minutes
Cooking time: 1,5-2 hours
Servings: makes around 350-400 ml of pomegranate sour
5 kg pomegranate, sour ones are better for this recipe

• Squeeze the juice of the pomegranate. You can squeeze the juice of the pomegranates with the lever-arm juicers or halve the pomegranates and place a big bowl in your sink. Hold the pomegranate cut side down and hit the skin with a wooden spoon repeatedly. Seeds will drop into the bowl and then you can squeeze them with a press juicer and sieve through a cheese cloth. Crush the pomegranate seeds, which do not release their full juice, through a strainer with a spoon.
• Strain the pomegranate juice through cheesecloth. Simmer the 1.5-2.5 litres of juice you have in a large and wide steel pot for about 1,5-2 hours.
• Stir with a wooden spoon and check occasionally to remove any foam.
• As the pomegranate juice reducing, the inner edges of the pot start to become sticky and dark, clean the edges from time to time with a damp cheesecloth so that the sugar or pectin accumulated here does not burn and spoil the taste of the pomegranate sour.
• Turn off the heat when the pomegranate juice starts to thicken. You can check the consistency by dropping a teaspoon of it on a cold plate/surface.
• You will get about 350-400 ml of pomegranate sour from 5 kg of pomegranate. Transfer the sour in sterilised bottles to use.
