Ingredients
- 2 cups Pomegranate juice
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 1 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Stevia or erythritol (optional)
Directions
Step 1
In a medium saucepan, combine the pomegranate juice and lemon juice. Heat over medium heat until warm.
Step 2
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water until fully dissolved to form a slurry.
Step 3
Slowly whisk the cornstarch slurry into the warm pomegranate mixture. Ensure there are no lumps.
Step 4
Continue to cook the mixture, stirring constantly, until it thickens to a sauce-like consistency, about 10 minutes.
Step 5
Once thickened, reduce the heat to low and add the vanilla extract. Stir well to combine.
Step 6
Taste the sauce; if you prefer it sweeter, add the optional stevia or erythritol and stir to dissolve.
Step 7
Remove from heat and let the sauce cool. It will continue to thicken as it cools.
Step 8
Transfer the sauce to a serving bowl or a jar for storage. Serve warm or refrigerate until ready to use.
