Where to get pomegranate molasses in Paris and recipe

[Guest guest]

Chris - pomegranate molasses has a very distinct sweet/tart flavor.

 

I've purchased it at gourmet food stores in Paris, as well as ethnic

groceries outside the Peripherique. There are all sorts of middle

eastern/ethnic (arabic, greek, african, italian, spanish)

neighborhood groceries in France; anyone of them would carry

pomegranate molasses.

 

An alternative name would be grenadine; you can find that at wine and

liquor stores.

 

There are a number of reputable ethnic groceries on the internet.

Try:

Or make your own: put a pint of pomegranate juice (2 cups)in a small

pot with 1/8 to 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice (to taste; how tart do you

want it?) and 1/4 cup brown sugar; cook at medium heat until sugar

dissolves. Lower the heat to a simmer and reduce liquid to a syrupy

molasses consistency. If you want a more tart molasses, do not add

brown sugar. Yields about 1 cup to 1 1/4 cup.

 

I hope that provides you with some alternatives.

Interesting to hear that it is available in Paris. A bit too far away from

the rural south of France though. If I decide to try the recipe I could try to

make some from your molasses recipe. Though I suspect that I will simply

decide to give it all a miss.
