Notes: Fresh pomegranate is always a good choice. The fruits are typically in season from September through December. You will need to work with the juicy little seeds, however, which can be time-consuming.
Recipe Variations
If you can't find orange flower water—it's not a common ingredient—you can use orange or lemon peels instead. Simply add citrus peels to the boiling pomegranate juice and sugar.
Orange oil or triple sec may also be used as a substitute for the orange blossom water.
Grenadine can also be made from a combination of black currant and pomegranate juices. Decide which flavor you want to dominate and split the total juice volume between the two. You could also add a little black currant liqueur, such as crème de cassis, which is easier to find than the juice.
Blended juices such as pomegranate-cranberry juice are readily available and are often much less expensive than straight pomegranate juice. It makes a good cranberry grenadine that can work well in many drinks.
