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.

Cherry Tomato Pasta
I love to make cherry tomato pasta with roasted cherry tomatoes to enhance the flavor of the sauce and add a wonderful, rich sweetness. Fresh herbs, a touch of heat from red pepper flakes, and some ricotta smooths it all out.
Florentine Eggs
A wonderful way to spruce up eggs using spinach, mushrooms, tomatoes, and mozzarella cheese.
Greek Pizza
A light and flavorful pizza featuring feta, tomatoes, and spinach. I like to use a homemade whole wheat crust, rolled thin.
