If it meant pomegranate molasses/syrup, then I'd expect to see the word 
"jarope", which means "syrup".  Also, the reference I cited from the health 
manual suggested "a sop in pomegranate wine or in verjuice".  I found a 
reference in another medical manual to "pomegranate wine or white vinegar".  
Pomegranate syrup doesn't seem a likely alternative to verjuice or vinegar.
