Pomegranate seeds and pomegranate juice are a delicious ways to boost your intake of potassium and cancer fighting antioxidants. Concentrating pomegranate juice into a thick syrup, is a healthful way to add a tart sweetness to many dishes. Pomegranate molasses or syrup is popular in Eastern Mediterranean dishes, but it’s usually made with lots of added sugar. This recipe takes fresh pomegranate juice with just a pinch of sugar to produce a thick, rich and flavorful syrup that can be used with fish, chicken, salad dressings or simply drizzled over whole grain pancakes or waffles.
