Pomegranate Compote

Ingredients

Pomegranate juice

2 cups

Granulated sugar

1/2 cup

Lemon juice

2 tablespoons

Cornstarch

2 tablespoons

Water

4 tablespoons

Instructions

1. In a medium saucepan, combine the pomegranate juice, granulated sugar, and lemon juice.
2. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally to dissolve the sugar.
3. In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and water until smooth and free of lumps.
4. Slowly pour the cornstarch mixture into the boiling pomegranate mixture, stirring constantly to prevent clumping.
5. Continue to cook the compote for about 5 minutes, or until it thickens to your desired consistency. The compote should coat the back of a spoon.
6. Remove from heat and let it cool for a few minutes before transferring to a jar or airtight container.
7. Refrigerate until chilled, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully.
8. Serve the pomegranate compote as a delectable topping for desserts, pancakes, waffles, or yogurt.
