Pomegranate molasses is a syrup used in Middle Eastern cooking. It has a bright ruby red color, and its sweet and sour flavor goes well with so many other ingredients. It is commonly available in Middle Eastern markets, but is easily made at home if you can get pomegranate juice, now easily found in supermarkets.
Ingredients
- 4 cups pomegranate juice
- 0.5 cups white sugar
- 0.5 cups lemon juice
Instructions

1
Bring pomegranate juice, sugar, and lemon juice to a simmer in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Once the sugar has dissolved, reduce the heat to medium-low, and simmer until the juice has reduced to 1 1/2 cups, about 1 hour. Stir the molasses frequently as it thickens to keep it from burning. When the molasses is done, allow it to cool to room temperature, then pour into a glass storage container, and keep in the refrigerator.

Perfect Pita Chips
I searched for months for a perfect pita chip recipe that tastes the same as, if not better than, store-bought pita chips. After many attempts, I found what everyone thinks is the perfect pita chip recipe! It takes barely any time to prepare, the chips have lots of garlic flavor, and they go great with spinach artichoke dip! For a change, add Italian seasoning, herbs, or Parmesan cheese!
