Cranberry Drizzle

Cranberry Drizzle

Drizzle the cheesecake with this bright and flavorful syrup made so easily with just a few ingredients. You can change up the flavor by using pomegranate or cherry juice, or by combining juices to your liking. The syrup can be made well ahead and used with so many things such as pancakes, waffles, ice cream and more.
Makes about 1/2 cup (125 mL)

Ingredients:
2 cups (250 mL) cranberry juice

1/2 cup (125 mL) sugar

2 tbsp (30 mL) light corn syrup

Pomegranate seeds for garnish

Directions:

Combine cranberry juice, sugar and light corn syrup in a medium saucepan and bring to a simmer. Continue simmering until the mixture is thickened and reduced to a generous 1/2 cup (125 mL). The syrup will measure between 240° to 245°F (116° to 118°C) on an instant-read thermometer. Cool completely. The syrup can be prepared a week ahead, covered and stored in the fridge. Bring to room temperature before drizzling on the cake. Garnish each serving with pomegranate seeds.
