Pomegranate molasses is an extraordinary Arabic delicacy. This syrup has a sweet and sour, slightly tart flavor, and is very thick with a brown, dark brown color. It is made by long-simmering pomegranate fruits and evaporating the water.
Pomegranate molasses elevates dishes to a whole new culinary level. It can be added to typical Middle Eastern dishes, but it also wonderfully enhances the character of traditional meals. The molasses will highlight the flavor of salads and vegetable dishes and works well as a marinade for meats and fish, as it tenderizes the meat. When added to desserts, it perfectly complements them with its sweetness. It can also be added to beverages and alcoholic drinks and pairs wonderfully with tahini.
