Homemade Pomegranate Syrup: A Sweet Taste of Autumn

Pomegranate Syrup is an easy way to preserve the tart taste of autumn to enjoy for months to come. It is great on pancakes and waffles, drizzled on ice cream and even as a glaze for chicken or fish.

To get the juice from the pomegranates I busted out my inner clown.

Well, the vintage clown reamer that has been in my family forever anyway. Just roll the fruit around a little, slice it in half and juice it.

If you want to twist it up a bit, add some fresh herbs such as rosemary or basil in the cooking process. To make Pomegranate Molasses, just cook it longer until the liquid is reduced by 75% instead of just 50%.
