An ancient ingredient, pomegranate molasses is made by boiling down fresh pomegranate juice until it is thick enough to keep without preservatives. This fruity, sweet and sour syrup is used in salad dressings, marinades, sauces, or simply as a finishing touch. We like to call it the Middle East’s balsamic vinegar. The best brands contain no sugar or other added ingredients, only pomegranate.
