If you’ve ever wondered how to use pomegranate molasses, you’re not alone. Once a secret ingredient tucked away in Middle Eastern kitchens, this sweet-and-tart syrup has officially gone mainstream. Recently, Martha Stewart featured Sadaf Pomegranate Molasses in an in-depth guide, calling it “sweet, tart, and versatile”—and explaining why it deserves a permanent spot in your pantry.
Pomegranate molasses is a thick, ruby-red syrup made by reducing pomegranate juice until it becomes rich, tangy, and slightly sticky. Known for its balance of tartness and sweetness, it has been a staple in Persian, Lebanese, and Mediterranean cooking for centuries. In the Martha Stewart feature by food writer Randi Gollin, it was described as “intensely tart with subtle sweetness” and a “game changer” that can brighten up any dish.
In her article, Stewart and featured experts (including Daniella Soofer of Sadaf Foods) break down exactly how to cook with pomegranate molasses:
Marinades & Glazes → Its acidity tenderizes meats while adding depth of flavor. Perfect for chicken, lamb, or roasted vegetables.
Stews & Sauces → Just a spoonful enhances classics like Persian fesenjan (pomegranate-walnut stew) or Mediterranean braises.
Salad Dressings → Whisk into vinaigrettes for a bright, fruity kick that balances greens and grains.
Desserts → Drizzle over yogurt, cheesecake, or ice cream for a tangy-sweet contrast.
Cocktails & Drinks → Mix into sparkling water, mocktails, or even cocktails for a refreshing twist.
This versatility is exactly why Stewart calls pomegranate molasses a must-have for both traditional recipes and modern kitchens.
