Last week, when I was busy concocting my Whole Grain Oatmeal Waffles, I realized that I needed something equally as tasty, and health, to pair it with. Thank goodness I still has some POM wonderful juice left in the fridge. I browsed around and saw a bunch of different syrup recipes, but they were all packed full of sugar. Ugh, I really don’t need to add more sugar to my breakfast, thankyouverymuch. So, I came up with this. Tangy, tart, with just enough sweetness to unpucker your lips.

While you’re at it, stop by my other POM Wonderful recipes (and read up on the benefits of pomegranate juice) here, here and here (my fave pizza).

This recipe couldn’t be simpler.

Combine the ingredients.

Heat.

Pour.

Enjoy!

POM Wonderful Syrup

1 cup POM Wonderful juice
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 tablespoon butter
1/2 cup honey or maple syrup (I used honey)

Combine all of the ingredients in a sauce pan. Heat over low to medium heat, until simmering. Let simmer for about 5 minutes, until the syrup reduces to about half. Cool, and enjoy over my Whole Wheat Oatmeal Waffles, or your favorite breakfast treat.
