Pomegranate molasses is a thick, glossy, deep ruby syrup made by reducing pomegranate juice. It tastes intensely tart-sweet with a gentle tannic grip and a silky, sticky pour; a little goes a long way in dressings, marinades, and pan sauces. Commonly sold bottled, it also works to glaze meats and finish roasted vegetables.\n\nRooted in the Levant, Turkey, and Iran, cooks have long simmered pomegranate juice—sometimes with sugar and lemon—into this pantry staple. It spread through Middle Eastern and Caucasian cuisines and is now used globally in both savory and pastry kitchens.
