For a richer flavor, use a high-quality pomegranate juice. Adjust the spices to your preference. For a spicier syrup, add a pinch of cayenne pepper. The syrup can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
Transform ordinary dishes into culinary masterpieces with this enchanting spiced pomegranate syrup. A symphony of sweet, tart, and warm flavors, it's perfect for drizzling over desserts, enhancing breakfast favorites, or adding a touch of elegance to savory dishes.
In a medium bowl, combine the pomegranate juice, red wine, and lemon juice. Whisk in the cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and ginger. Crumble in half of the brown sugar and whisk until the sugar is fully dissolved. (5 minutes)
Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat, swirling to coat the pan evenly. Immediately pour in the juice/spice mixture and increase the heat to high. Bring the mixture to a boil, whisking constantly to prevent scorching. Reduce the heat to medium and gradually add the remaining brown sugar, stirring continuously. Cook until the mixture thickens to a syrupy consistency, capable of coating the back of a spoon. (10-15 minutes)
Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly, stirring occasionally to prevent a skin from forming. Continue to cool for 5 to 10 minutes before serving. The syrup will thicken further as it cools. (15 minutes)
Serve and enjoy.
