Has anyone made pomegranate molasses? Is it a satisfactory sub for

Sylvia, after revisiting this, I think we misunderstood each other. I want to make
pom molasses with some pom juice I bought. I was asking if it's possible to make one from scratch that would be similar to the purchased pom molasses. The recipe I'm looking at consists of boiling down the pom juice to a molasses consistency. I've never seen the pom molasses and don't know what the ingredients are.

My bottle from Lebanon says "Ingredients: Concentrated pomegranate juice." So you should be fine.
Hi Curious - I thiught I remembered Moyn posting about making it, but I can't
find that particular post from the Swap.
Here is another interesting post about it from KC:

I was looking through "License to Grill" by Chris Schlesinger and John Willoughby and discovered that they also like pomegranate molasses as a secret ingredient. Here's what they say: "As the name implies, pomegranate molasses is a thick syrup made by boiling down huge quantities of pomegranate juice, along with a bit of sugar and lemon, until the juice is reduced in volume by two thirds or more. Available in most Middle Eastern stores, it has the deep, rich sweetness and tangy sour undertones of the fruit from which it is made. It's one of those "secret weapon" ingredients, like balsamic vinegar, that can give a subtle boost to a wide range of dishes. I like to slip a bit into a vinaigrette or basting sauce, or just paint a very thin coating onto chicken during the last minute or two of grilling. Buy a bottle and keep it in your refrigerator - you'll soon find all kinds of uses for it.
