Pomegranate Sauce
Pomegranate sauce is a staple in Mediterranean cooking, but kicks ass even outside its traditional domain. You’d find it in supermarkets labelled as pomegranate molasses, and is easily made at home. Whenever you're looking for a beautiful balance of sweetness and mild sourness, you should give this sauce a try. The basic pomegranate sauce is versatile; you can drizzle it over ice cream or cheesecake, glaze or marinate meats with it, or use it in Indian curries. This recipe is a glam version of the basic sauce, and you'll find all about creating versions of it here.
