Found pomegranite molasses!Now what?

[JHolcomb]

After some searching, I finally found pomegranite molasses in a local Middle Eastern market, though now that I've brought my find home I can't remember why I wanted it in the first place. Anyone got any good recipes for the stuff? We'll eat anything within reason around my house, so don't be shy!

TIA,
Jen

Here's a link to an old thread that posts the recipe for Muhammara. It's a middle eastern dip, and just may be my most favorite thing ever. You HAVE to try it! Enjoy that molasses - I could eat it straight from the bottle (if you like SweeTarts candy, you'll love the stuff!)

If my memory serves me, there is also a salad recipe with crispy wontons that calls for this molasses. I know that it was in the May 2000 issue.

Thanks, guys. I can't wait to make that dip! We opened the bottle of pomegranite molasses last night to taste it and we're already addicted. I'm wondering if I could somehow incorporate it into a glaze for meat-maybe adding some spices and a little sugar, though not so much that it takes away from the character of the molasses. I'm going to try to work something out. In the meantime, though, I think I'll be munching on that dip.

Hi Jen!

I just happened to be going through some old issues of CL today and noticed a recipe that uses pomegranate molasses and remembered seeing your post. This is from the Dec 98 issue and it's for Shish Kebabs with Onions & Pomegranate Molasses. It's on the website, just search under "shish kebabs" (I think it's the only one that comes up). If you can't find it, let me know and I'll post it.

It looks really good, so if you try it, let us know how it is.

That shish kebab recipe looks fantastic, though I'll probably substitute beef for the lamb when I make it-probably sometime later this month. Thanks for the tip.
