[Sca-cooks] Grenade syrup or molasses

[Terry Decker]

Grenade is French for pomegranate.  Grenadine was originally pomegranate 
juice, sugar and water.  These days commercial grenadine is often a mix of 
high fructose corn syrup, water, preservatives, dyes and artificle flavors. 
Molasses is a byproduct of sugar refining and really isn't useful in 
producing grenadine.  I would suggest making a thin simple syrup to which 
you add pomegranate juise to taste then reduce it slowly to the desired 
consistency.
