10 cups of Juice put in a deep pan and boil it on medium to high heat around 20 minutes meanwhile remove the scum up and stir frequently. After 20 minutes reduce the heat to low and let it boil until the juice become slightly thick and the juice reduced to 2 cups, stir it frequently, it took me around 1 ½ hours.
After move the pan from the heat and let it cool down, after cooling down put it into a jar and keep it in the fridge or room temperature. With this you can make marination for various dishes.

500g Pomegranate seeds, 200g white Sugar and a Star Anis put them in a pan and let it boil on medium heat, stir to help to dissolve the sugar easily.
