Using Pomegranate Molasses in Recipes

Pomegranate molasses is a thick syrup made from reduced pomegranate juice. It has the consistency of molasses, it's rich and dark and quite tangy.

We love cooking with pomegranate molasses and use it in a number of ways. Drizzling on roasted kabocha squash, or add to a vinaigrette and pomegranate molasses is one of the main ingredients in muhammara, a Turkish walnut and pepper dip that is outstanding.

Many grocery stores sell pomegranate molasses and you can also find it at Mediterranean/International stores and online.

Roasted Vegetables with Pomegranate Molasses

When pomegranate molasses is tossed with vegetables before roasting, the syrup sweetens slightly yet keeps it's puckery tang.

Feel free to use in any sort of vegetable combinations. In this recipe, I used rainbow carrots, red onion and asparagus.

Toss vegetables with a good drizzle of olive oil and salt and pepper and roast until vegetables are caramelized and just cooked through. Once the vegetables are roasted, toss with a mixture of molasses and a good drizzle of honey for extra sweetness.

    Sounds fantastic, I've been eyeing pomegranate molasses for a while now, looks like it's supposed to be good in salad dressing as well.
