Pomegranate Syrup

   1. Measure equal parts of pomegranate juice and sugar and let it  
stand for three days. Bring to a boil, simmer 5 minutes, strain, pour  
into sterilized jars, and seal. Don’t forget the hot water bath.
   2. The syrup may be used diluted with cold water to taste (I usually  
do a four to one ratio for fruit syrups) and served over ice. It's  
splashed over grapefruit and used in some cocktails. I suppose it would  
be wonderful over vanilla icecream and so on.
   3. The November ‘95 Saveur magazine has a recipe for pomegranate  
sorbet which looks divine. You could also boil it down and make  
pomegranate molasses.
