Simple and delicious Homemade Pomegranate Syrup. It’s is a wonderful addition to your pancakes and waffles in the morning or ice cream for dessert.
Happy Valentine’s Day!! What’s for breakfast? How about some pancakes with homemade pomegranate syrup?! It’s so, so delicious, you will be glad you tried it!
Today is my baby boy’s first Valentine’s day at school! I hope it goes well, we worked all night on the valentines for his classmates. He did help me gluing the doily hearts onto red squares. The valentines came out very cute! I also put some lollipops onto them but it’s a surprise.
We also made something very special for his teacher. He really has an amazing teacher, she is so sweet and patient and the kids in class love her. So when I saw this post form Uncommon Designs, I knew this is what we had to make:
My boys love pancakes, it’s their favorite breakfast. So, I made them something special. I figured they were tired of the plain old maple syrup on their pancakes, so I made them some homemade pomegranate pancakes! It turned out to be the best syrup, we’ve ever tasted! Give it a try!
