pomegranate molasses magnificence

pomegranates make everything more festive!

Sooner or later, you think you have prepared all of the different flavors for your holiday table.  Every year I like to add one new idea to our holiday meal, and this year it is pomegranate molasses!  The first thing to remember is that pomegranates make everything more festive.  The second thing to consider is the gorgeous ruby red color!  Not to mention the tart delicious taste that elevates every recipe.

low and slow is the secret to irresistible pomegranate molasses…

It is so easy to prepare pomegranate molasses, and I have no idea why I have not stumbled on them before.  You may also store them in the refrigerator for the entire holiday season.  If they last that long!  To speed up the process, I decided to use pure pom juice to make my homemade molasses, so there is really no excuse to not give this recipe a try!  The secret to rich syrupy molasses is to cook them low and slow with just an occasional stir.  Pour a few ingredients into a sauce pan and simmer away for an hour or so to create a thick syrupy sensation.  What could be easier than that?

All of the sudden you have a decadent sauce to drizzle over EVERYTHING!!!  I love it drizzled over any fall vegetable, with squash being my favorite so far.  The options are endless!  Pomegranate molasses make everything gorgeous and delicious.  The sauce is a shiny, syrupy drizzle that is packed with a lip smacking flavor punch.  You will be so happy to have this secret weapon ready to go in your refrigerator when you want to pop a recipe to perfection.  Give it a try and let me know what you have drizzled it on!
