Notes
Because most bottled fresh pomegranate juice has been pasteurized the flavor is not as bright and fresh as freshly squeezed. However, it will work just fine so feel free to substitute commercial pomegranate juice for freshly squeezed.
This recipe produces a thinner syrup than other recipes. If you wish a thicker syrup, you can bring the juice and sugar mixture to a boil and boil until it thickens. This will however dull the flavor.
