Pomegranate molasses: tartness with a rich texture
The idea
Pomegranate molasses offers a concentrated, tart-sweet character and a thicker consistency than fruit juice. It can change the balance of a filling or dressing without becoming the largest ingredient. The amount and the other seasonings matter: sweetness alone is not a complete description of how it tastes.
A practical next step
Check the label on a pantry bottle and use it as a distinct ingredient, rather than assuming it is interchangeable with ordinary syrup.
