Delicious homemade pomegranate caramels that are sweet and tangy, perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups pure pomegranate juice (945 ml)
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, room temperature, cut into tablespoon pieces (113 g)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar (200 g)
  • ½ cup light brown sugar (100 g)
  • ⅓ cup heavy whipping cream (80 ml)
  • 2 tsp vanilla paste or extract
  • 1 tsp flaky sea salt
  • Red food coloring (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a medium or large saucepan, bring the pomegranate juice to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce to a simmer and cook for about 1 hour, occasionally scraping down the sides, until reduced to about ½ cup and thick.
  2. Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan (or 8×8-inch pan). Line with parchment paper to cover completely. Cut 32 squares of wax paper (4 inches each) for wrapping.
  3. Add the butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and heavy cream to the reduced pomegranate juice. Stir until combined and melted. Attach a candy thermometer and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until it reaches 240°F (soft-ball stage) for about 10–15 minutes.
  4. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla paste (or extract) and flaky sea salt. Add red food coloring if desired.
  5. Pour the caramel into the prepared pan and let cool at room temperature for about 1 hour, or until set.
  6. Lift the caramel out using parchment, cut into 32 squares, and wrap each in wax paper, twisting the ends to secure.

Notes

  • Ensure the pomegranate juice is reduced to a thick syrup for the best caramel texture.
  • For a festive touch, you can add a few drops of red food coloring.
  • Keep an eye on the caramel mixture to avoid burning once it reaches the soft-ball stage.
