Recipe by James Collier + Danny Alas
HEADNOTE
Grenadine has traditionally been made with pomegranates, and similar to pomegranate syrup
and pomegranate molasses, it combines fresh juice with sugar and cooks down to a
concentration that’s vibrant, tart, and just a little sweet. It’s a staple in a Shirley Temple or
Tequila Sunrise, and even brightens any fizzy pour of cold soda water!
YIELD: 1 cup
PREP TIME: 1 minute
COOK TIME: 35 minutes
INGREDIENTS
● 3 cups fresh California pomegranate juice
● ⅓ cup granulated sugar
INSTRUCTIONS
Combine the pomegranate juice and sugar in a wide-bottomed saucepan or pot–similar to
Pomegranate Syrup, a wider pot will allow the liquid to thicken faster. Bring to a light boil over
medium heat, then reduce to medium low and simmer for 35 minutes, stirring more and more
frequently as it thickens. Remove from the heat when the mixture lightly coats the back of a
spoon.
Allow to cool for at least 30 minutes, then transfer to a sterilized glass bottle or jar, and store in
the fridge!
