You have concentrate, which is already reduced without cooking. Use that. If you have a concentrate like Fruit Fast, each tbs has the juice of one pomegranate. Even your 3:1 concentrate has reduction by cooking beat. Try it straight. Make funny faces. Yep, I will be making a batch with the concentrate within the next couple days. The only reason that I didn't make both at once was because I ran out of good sugar. Even then I used turbinado in the first batch, and I'm not so sure I like it too much. The concentrate should be better. But... Do you think I should make a 1:1 concentrate:sugar? Or 1:2? or 1:1 concentrate:water and THEN 1:1 with sugar?
