Here's a challenge for you foodies out there!

[meggmoo]

I bought a bottle of pomegranate molasses syrup today as I loved the bottle and was feeling adventurous.

How do I cook with it?
I understand it's used in the Middle East in savory dishes.

It smells divine.

No idea, but I'm jealous already!

Megg,have just been admiring my bottle!
I got mine in Turkey-over there they drizzle it (no oil) onto salad of copped tomato,onoin and cucumber.
Very nice.
Am thinking it could also be used rather like tamarind and as a marinade.
I have been meaning to get dh to question the Turks in his office more closely re it.
Will get back to you on it.
I also like it neat.

sure Nigella uses this...

I've used it in Moroccan tagines etc balanced against lemon to stop it getting too treacly

Moondog I was thinking about the tamarind connection too. Wondered about making stuffed puris and using it as part of a dressing.

Blu, it's gorgeous stuff.

have been pouring loads onto a spoon and wolfing it like a cough medicine junkie!

mmmmmmmmmm thanks Mrs Badger will look inot that to.

Sounds like a viable notion megg.
God,I've now got to go and have a spoonful.
Where did you get it btw?

That's what i want to know - where did you get it/

Keep spooning it in, Meggmoo - pomegranate is the new superfood, isn't it? Really good for you...

i squeeze fresh pm. juice every day for brekfast.

It's an Asian shop nearish to me. Blu do you want some?

Tried that salad Moondog it was delicious with some black pepper - yum!

So far have only managed to find a recipe for spiced apple pancakes and pomegranate syrup.

Oh,good!
I eat this nearly every night in Turkey (with kebabas and flat bread.)
Damn,forgot to ask dh.I will tonight.

Blu,
you sounded interested did you want me to send you a bottle?

Thanks for this. I've had a bottle in the fridge for ages and not known what to do with it. I bought it cos I needed it for a recipe, but since I bought it, I've not been able to find the recipe. I'm sure it was in a Nigella book. Can anyone help me out?

Thank you SueW. I think it was the Lebanese moussaka that I bought it for originally, but I'm definately going to make the berry cakes at the weekend. They look fab. Yum.
