Pomegranate Molasses

Pomegranate molasses does not taste like pomegranates. nor does it taste like molasses. the flavor is sweet and tart like a good balsamic vinegar but without the acrid whang of vinegar. it's a little toasty; a little fruity; a little floral. it's syrupy without being cloying. you can buy it at middle eastern stores as well as some well stocked supermarkets or you can make your own.
