Pomegranate jam

Cookinero 1 Apr 2025

An old Caucasian recipe for pomegranate jam with seeds will help you prepare a delicious dessert that is good for your immune system and brain. For jam, it is best to choose pomegranates with dry skin that has small cracks. The skin itself should be a rich color, then the grains will be juicy enough.

How to cook Pomegranate jam

Step 1

Pomegranate jam

Prepare the syrup. Squeeze the juice from the oven-dried pomegranates, mix it with sugar and put on low heat. Bring the mixture to a boil and cook for another 30 minutes, stirring. Remove the syrup from the heat and cool slightly.

Step 2

Pomegranate jam

Cook the jam. Peel the remaining pomegranates and put the seeds and kernels into the syrup. Let the mixture sit for 60 minutes, then place the pan on low heat. Bring to a boil and cook for about 15 minutes more. Distribute the finished hot jam into jars and close with lids.

Pomegranate jam - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Yes, you can substitute with 100% pure bottled pomegranate juice, but reduce the sugar slightly as bottled juice may be sweeter. Use about 3/4 cup juice per 1 cup sugar.
Properly stored in airtight jars, pomegranate jam keeps for 3-4 weeks refrigerated. Always use clean utensils to prevent contamination.
Replace sugar with erythritol or stevia in a 1:1 ratio, but note the jam may be less thick. Adding 1/2 tsp powdered pectin helps compensate.
Yes, but cook in separate batches or use a wider pan. Overcrowding prevents even evaporation, leading to runny jam.
Wash jars and lids in hot soapy water, then boil for 10 minutes. Alternatively, run through a dishwasher's sanitizing cycle.
Absolutely! A cinnamon stick, 1/4 tsp cardamom, or 1 tbsp rose water added during cooking pairs wonderfully with pomegranate.
This happens if too many white pith bits are included. Carefully remove all pith when peeling pomegranates to avoid bitterness.
Yes, freeze in airtight containers for up to 6 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before using. Texture may soften slightly.
Try it with brie cheese, yogurt, pancakes, or roast meats. It also makes a wonderful glaze for grilled chicken or lamb.
