Ingredients
- 2 cups Fresh pomegranate juice
- 0.5 cup Honey
- 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
Directions
Step 1
In a medium saucepan, combine the pomegranate juice, honey, and apple cider vinegar. Stir the mixture over medium heat until honey is completely dissolved.
Step 2
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the liquid to reduce slightly.
Step 3
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with water to create a slurry.
Step 4
Slowly stir the cornstarch slurry into the simmering pomegranate mixture. Continue to simmer and stir until the sauce thickens slightly, approximately 3-5 minutes.
Step 5
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the lemon zest and ground black pepper.
Step 6
Allow the sauce to cool slightly before serving. Serve warm, or let it cool completely and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
