Spiced Pomegranate Glaze

Author: Flavelo
Sauces and Gravies Recipes Vegetarian & Vegan Dishes
Pomegranate juice contains natural acidity and tannins, adding depth to this sauce. Since the juice itself is thin, we thicken it with starch (gelatinization) to create a sticky glaze that forms a glossy coating on meats.

Ingredients

Equipment Needed

  • Small whisk: To remove lumps.

Instructions

1 ✓

Mix the cornstarch with cold water (suspension).

Tip: Cornstarch clumps immediately in hot liquid, so dissolve it in cold first.
2 ✓

Bring the juice, honey, vinegar, and spices to a boil.

Tip: Heat helps extract the aromas of ginger and cinnamon.
3 ✓

Pour in the starch water and cook for 1-2 minutes until thickened.

Tip: Starch granules swell with heat and trap water (thickening).
4 ✓

Stir in the fresh seeds at the end.

Tip: The seeds provide a crunchy texture (contrast) in the smooth sauce.

Recipe FAQ

Why is the sauce cloudy?
Cornstarch creates an opaque thickener. If you want it clear, use tapioca starch or arrowroot.
