• combine the pomegranate juice, , and lemon juice in a bowl. whisk in the cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and ginger. crumble in half of the brown sugar and whisk mixture until sugar dissolves.
• melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat and swirl to coat the pan. immediately pour in the juice/spice mixture and increase the heat to high. bring mixture to a boil while whisking to prevent scorching. reduce heat to medium and, while stirring, add the remaining brown sugar a little at a time. cook and stir until mixture thickens to a syrupy consistency or when it can coat the back of a spoon.
