Ingredients
  

  • 1 large pomegranate
  • 1/2 tsp lime juice
  • 1/2 tsp honey
  • 250 ml champagne (extra brut) or prosecco/cava

Instructions
 

Pomegranate Molasses

  • Remove the seeds from the pomegranate. I do it by cutting the pomegranate into quarters and pulling the seeds out by hand making sure not to get any of the bitter white membrane with them.
  • Reserve 10 seeds for garnish and place the rest of the pomegranate seeds in the food processor. Turn onto high for a couple of minutes to extract all the juice.
  • Empty the contents of the food processor into a sieve on top of a bowl. Collect the juice in the bowl and press down on the contents of the sieve to get every last drop.
  • Put the juice into a saucepan on a medium heat. Add the honey and lime.
  • Boil slowly until the liquid has reduced by half.
  • The pomegranate molasses is now ready.

Pomegranate Bellini

  • When the Pomegranate Molasses has cooled add 2 tsps to the bottom of a champagne glass.
  • Top the glass up with champagne.
  • Add a few pomegranate seeds to the glass as garnish and serve.
