Happy Valentine’s Day!! What’s for breakfast? How about some pancakes with homemade pomegranate syrup?! It’s so, so delicious, you will be glad you tried it!

Today is my baby boy’s first Valentine’s day at school! I hope it goes well, we worked all night on the valentines for his classmates. He did help me gluing the doily hearts onto red squares. The valentines came out very cute! I also put some lollipops onto them but it’s a surprise.
We also made something very special for his teacher. He really has an amazing teacher, she is so sweet and patient and the kids in class love her. So when I saw this post form Uncommon Designs, I knew this is what we had to make:
 
My boys love pancakes, it’s their favorite breakfast. So, I made them something special. I figured they were tired of the plain old maple syrup on their pancakes, so I made them some homemade pomegranate pancakes! It turned out to be the best syrup, we’ve ever tasted! Give it a try!

    Hi there! This syrup looks amazing! I am always looking for yummy alternatives to maple syrup on my pancakes. I think this would be delicious in an iced tea, too! Thanks for sharing the recipe. Also, would you mind if I featured it on my blog? I make a weekly post called “wear what you eat” and compare yummy recipes to fashion…you can see some examples here: http://ohmypancake.blogspot.com/search?q=wear+what+you+eat. If it’s okay with you…I’ll use this next week. 🙂

    I am so glad I found your blog… you’ve got tons of great stuff!

    xo,

      Hi Brittany! I would say that it will be good for 10-14 days. But this had a good amount of sugar in it and make with bottled juice, so it should be just fine. Keep it in the air-tight container too.
      Enjoy!

        I cooked this tonight, whisking constantly for 15 minutes, about minute 10 it got thick but I continued. The first time I thought it was because I used half POM Wonderful and apple juice from concentrate. I tried it the second time with the full amount of POM and it was still extremely thick. Almost like candy. Did I maybe cook it for too long?

          Hmmm, did you remember to turn the heat back to medium after you brought it to boil? If not, the liqiud may have cooked out. If you did, try adding only one tsp of cornstarch and then add another one if it seems too thin (if adding a second one, dissolve it with a little bit of cold juice first).

          Hi Denise!
          I don’t do any canning so I don’t want o steer you the wrong way. What I remember is that everything had to be boiled, including can, and lids. It had to be properly sealed as well.
          I would read about proper canning before trying it for sure.
          I’m sorry that I wasn’t much help, I just don’t want to suggest something incorrect to you.
