Grenadine Half Mast Recipes

GRENADINE

Steps:

• Cut the pomegranates in half and juice using a citrus press. (This should yield about 2 cups of juice.) Or use two cups high-quality bottled pomegranate juice.
• Pour the juice into a large glass, measuring cup or other microwave-safe container and microwave at full power for 1 to 2 minutes until warm.
• Add the sugar and stir until it dissolves completely.
• Add pomegranate molasses and orange blossom water and stir to combine.
• Allow to cool, then bottle. Add an optional ounce of vodka as a preservative.

Steps:

• Combine ingredients in a small pot. Cook over medium heat for a few minutes, stirring to dissolve sugar and salt. Set aside to cool.
• For the best result, pour into a bottle or jar that has been sterilized (boil it and its cap or lid for 10 minutes). Syrup will hold in the refrigerator for about a month.
