pomegranate molasses
Reduced fruit concentrate
Pomegranate molasses is a thick, tangy-sweet syrup made by reducing pomegranate juice.
Despite the name, it contains no actual molasses—the term describes its dark color and viscous consistency.
Central to Middle Eastern cooking, it adds fruity acidity to dishes like muhammara, fattoush, and braised meats: Drizzle pomegranate molasses over roasted eggplant.
