Equipment

1 medium saucepan
1 strainer
1 Blender

Ingredients

2 cups pomegranate juice
2 cups sugar
1 tsp. lemon juice

Instructions

Add pomegranate juice, sugar and lemon juice to a medium saucepan on medium heat to start.
Once the sugar dissolves and the liquid gets to a simmer turn the heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes (if you want a more viscous thinner syrup), stirring occasionally, watching to make sure it doesn't boil real hard or burn. If you would like the syrup a little thicker, simmer for 5 more minutes (15 total).
After the 10-15 minute simmer go ahead and turn the burner off and remove the pot from the heat and let it cool to room temperature.
Once it's cooled to room temperature, transfer it to a glass bottle or mason jar and store in the refrigerator.

Notes

This recipe makes about 2 3/4 cups of grenadine which is enough to probably get you through all the holidays.

It will keep in the refrigerator for 1 month or you can freeze it into cubes.
