What is pomegranate molasses?
Pomegranate molasses
Pomegranate juice cooked down to a thick, tart-sweet syrup, a staple of Middle Eastern cooking. No actual molasses involved.
What it tastes like
Sour first, then fruity and sweet, a bit like balsamic vinegar crossed with cranberry.
Where you’ll see it
Muhammara, fattoush dressing, glazes for lamb and chicken, roasted vegetables and the odd cocktail at Middle Eastern places.
