近年，科學研究證明石榴 Pomegranate 可抑制動脈損傷，抵抗都巿頭號殺手心臟病，受到媒體大力吹捧。石榴原產於伊朗，早在四千年前已被人栽種作藥食兩用。中醫認為有生津化痰、潤肺止咳、澀腸止瀉與美容養顏之效。

石榴在秋季成熟，果粒的甜酸多汁得讓人忍不住想一口吞下去，甜度高得像是在和糖果比賽誰更甜！一旦觸摸之後，手中就會沾上那種甜甜黏黏的感覺。把石榴汁加熱，揮發水分，去掉那小小的不愉快酸澀，你就能提煉出像濃稠的糖漿，配方天然而且完全無添加，簡直是水果糖漿的天花板！我最喜歡把它放進氣泡水里，調一杯西班牙水果酒，喝上一口，味道絕對能讓你驚呼：「這真不是石榴的錯，是它太好喝了！」

另外，石榴和俗稱「番石榴」的芭樂是不同的水果，別混淆唷 ~

材料（分量: 約165 ml糖漿）

石榴 8 個

烤盤

約 18ｘ22 cm

做法

1. 八個石榴可取約 4 杯的石榴籽，用手提攪拌棒將石榴籽榨汁，可取得約 500 ml 的石榴汁

2. 用濾網過濾並以湯匙輕壓，榨出所有石榴汁。預熱烤箱至 160ºC。另將一小盤放進冰箱冷藏，作為測試糖漿濃稠度之用

3. 將石榴汁倒入烤盤，送入烤箱烤 75 ~ 80 分鐘，水分蒸發後，石榴汁會慢慢減少，顏色變深。烤焗期間不時觀察水分的蒸發程度，以免烤焦

4. 舀少許糖漿在冷凍過的小盤上，用手指截開，清晰看到劃痕即可。從烤箱裡取出糖漿放涼後，倒進已消毒的瓶子中。放冰箱冷藏保存可達 2 個月

小叮嚀

石榴未必愈紅愈好，得看品種，顏色較粉或偏黃的比較甜。新鮮石榴表面有光澤，形狀飽滿，若呈暗啞和有大面積的黑斑，不夠新鮮。體積相若的石榴，較重的較成熟，水分較多
如果家中沒烤箱，可放在鍋中以小火熬煮 60 ~ 70 分鐘
石榴汁容易使金屬容器氧化變色，最好用玻璃或白色陶瓷器皿。每種烤箱的溫度有差異，需自行調整時間
