Pomegranate Molasses

Pomegranate molasses is a syrup-like reduction of pomegranate juice that has a unique, tart-sweet flavor and is colored a gorgeous, deep reddish purple. Some versions add water or sugar, but those can often dull the tangy flavor of the fruit. This one is 100% pomegranate. It’s as thick as maple syrup with sweet and sour flavors that combine the best of balsamic vinegar with lush fruit. Great as an ingredient in an array of Middle Eastern dishes, it’s the sort of addition to sauces and stews that adds enormous depth of flavor but no one can ever identify.

I’ve found it particularly good with poultry dishes—it’s a nice addition to a creative cook’s marinade routine. It’s also great drizzled over crepes, fresh Zingerman’s Creamery cream cheese or gelato.

"This is fun stuff. I keep finding new cool things to do with it. It was great to caramelize onions with. It has been great drizzled over all kinds of fresh fruits and steamed veggies—it adds a complex fruitiness to all kinds of things...I think I'll start playing with it in desserts next."

"A deeply beguiling, sweet-tart taste"

Looking for pomegranate sauce? You're at the right place!
The producer of this molasses stopped making what they called 'pomegranate sauce' and now is making this pomegranate molasses. While the ingredients are the same, the recipe is slightly different. The molasses is slightly thicker than the sauce version, but the flavor is as advertised and just as versatile.
