Hi - I really want this recipe, but cannot buy the book right now, would someone be kind enough to send me the recipe, pretty please??? I will buy the book one day, I promise, just can't afford it before Christmas!
-
There's a copy of the recipe on the Facebook Page - you need to scroll down a bit to find it.

Hope this helps ;)

Thanks - found it! Not sure where I'm going to find pomegranate molasses around here though...
-
Hi Dyljon - not sure where you are in the world but I can buy pomegranate molasses in shops selling middle eastern foods or the 'multicultural' shops which sell a bit of everything plus bulk produce. You may find it in italian providores as well.
-
Don't worry if you can't find the molasses - it tastes just fine without it. Try it and see.
-
dyljon, if you are in Australia and you don't mind ordering on-line, you can buy it from here. This is where I get it from along with any spices I can't pick up locally.

Thanks. I'm in Adelaide, and I just found on another forum that someone said there is a place in Thebarton that has it so will head there tomorrow. JulieO, I have got stuff from gourmetshopper before too, they are great! I want to make it this weekend though so need can't rely on post!
-
No worries, lucky you having somewhere not too far from home. :D

I have made this several times now since I got the book. Had company this weekend and they thought they had died and gone to heaven. They said it was the best beet salad they had ever had. I had never heard of pomegranate molasses and have no idea where to get it. The first time I just omitted it and the salad was very slightly bitter. After that I just started adding a spalsh of pomegranate juice instead to sweeten it a little. It helped a lot. We love this salad. The first time my 20 year old had 3 helpings and he hates beets. LOL

There is a recipe for the pomegranate molasses here (http://allrecipes.com/recipe/pomegranate-molasses/). Looks really easy to make. Might even be easier than trying to find it in a shop. I know it will be here.

Thanks for posting this - it looks as if it would be really easy to do in the TMX
-
Just made some raspberry vinegar yesterday for another recipe so when I read this I thought there must be a way to make it as well. Glad I looked as I will make too - no hope of buying this locally here.

Thanks twitterpated.....I would love someone to be clever (and game enough) to convert it to the tm......I'm a bit chicken.....I don't want to burn it in my jug :P .....not saying I want someone else to have a burnt molasses mess in their jugs.....but I will wait with baited breath ;D
I bought some from a gourmet store here, and it cost $10.95 for 100ml :-)) I thought it was expensive, but the taste is quite unique and I think really adds to recipes.
-
Wow Maddy that's expensive. Haven't had a chance to have another look at it yet. Might have to revert to the ways of old and use a saucepan (shock, horror.....did I say that out loud?) just to be sure. I have no problems throwing away a saucepan (expensive as they are) but I'm not sure if I want to risk my bowl either. Might think on it for a while. Not going to get a chance this weekend so that'll give me some time to decide. Maybe in the meantime someone might come to our rescue.
-
From what I've seen it's usually around the $8.30 mark for 100 ml
-
$15.95 for 500ml bottle- Cortas brand
A nice addition to many things- bubbly amongst other things (I like it dry!)

I made this tonight from Twitterpated's link and no problems girls - dead easy. $5.69 for just over 300 mls.
1 litre pomegranate juice
110g white sugar
100g lemon juice
60 minutes/varoma temperature/speed 2/MC off.
It is a thin syrup but very tasty and there was no sticking to the pan either. Put this in the fridge and once it cooled down it did thicken to a syrupy consistency.
-
Thanks judydawn - will be trying this very soon. Would you keep this in the fridge?
-
Thanks for trying this out for us JD. Looks like it's safe to go ahead and we can all enjoy the salad.
-
Judy ventured where we were too scared to go :-* thanks !
That's a much attractive option than paying what I did!
Did you find the syrup thickened up on cooling?
The bought stuff is the consistency of golden syrup.
I found an interesting foodie place yesterday, and they were charging $18.95 for a bottle of the juice......so I left it there.
-
Yes Goldfish, I will be keeping it in the fridge but goodness knows how long it will keep. Might have to google some uses for it or even freeze it in ice-cube trays perhaps if someone tells me it won't last long in there.
Maddy, yes it thickened up more overnight but is not the consistency of golden syrup. I'm sure it will be fine for the beetroot salad recipe though. I ended up with just over 300 mls after an hour whereas the original recipe says you end up with 375 mls with the stove-top method. It was not a costly exercise so I had nothing to lose by giving it a go. I trusted that the continual stirring would prevent sticking and then having the problem of cleaning it off ;)
-
Well I would imagine a less thicker consistency would be better actually....easier to drizzle and mix in.
Was your juice 100% pomegranate, and from supermarket?
-
Yes maddy, found it on the shelf (not fridge) and it is Bickfords 100% pomegranate juice made from concentrate, all natural, no preservatives, no added sugar. They have a recipe site www.bickfordsjuice.com.au (http://www.bickfordsjuice.com.au) with ideas for drinks and recipes using the juice so with this molasses you would use a lot less obviously.
-
Thanks Judy :)
Had a little search and it's suggested for glazes, vinegarettes etc. I like the simple suggestion of drizzled over cream cheese for a dip.
Lots pf possibilities.
-
What about drizzled on a sweet pizza?
-
Well even though I bought a small bottle of Pom. Molasses, I did make some as Judy's conversion.
It really is lovely.....and tasting the both, this home made version trumps the bought one for sure.
I found the bought one too acidic, and the citric acid came through strongly.
Judy, maybe you could post your conversion in the sauces/dressings thread.....it's a good one to share ;)
I made a salad vinegarette using:
2 Tbspn home made Pom. Molasses
2 Tbspn. Mild olive oil
1 Tbspn. White wine vinegar
Salt and pepper
-
Will do maddy then I'll post your vinaigrette over there too. Nice to hear this is better than the bought version.
-
Thanks very much judydawn! Will be trying this for sure - and really appreciate your tips and advice!'And Maddy, that dressing sounds wonderful and will be trying that too!! Thank you both!! :)
-
We had this last night and loved it. It stood (in the fridge) for several hours and I think this improved the flavours. I used the TMX pomegranate molasses.

Hi,
I'm in Melbourne and got Pomegranate Molasses at Leo's Supermarket in Kew. I think I paid under $10 for a bottle of 300ml - just can't find the receipt. Leo's also have shops in Heidelberg and Hartwell. Got the rosewater there as well. Apparently lots of the Middle Eastern grocers in Brunswick Street/Sydney Road sell it as well. When I mentioned it to my sister yesterday she thought that the greengrocer next to the supermarket at Doncaster Shoppingtown had it as well - at the back of the shop.
I bought the book last week and can't wait to try everything. Looks amazing.
I made the salad tonight and it was a complete winner. Loved it. It's on my list for high rotation salads now!! I made the main part a few hours before serving and stored it in the fridge, adding the pistachios and the pomegranate seeds just before I served it.
-
Hi. Just adding this off-sdite review into the conversation:
http://thermovixens.wordpress.com/2011/10/19/in-the-mix-beetroot-pomegranate-and-pistachio-salad/
-
Made this salad on the weekend. I thought it was very yummy but I have a feeling that I added the rosewater too slowly and it didn't register on the scales, so it tasted much 'rosier' than I think it should have. I had a go at making pomegranate molasses (but burnt it when I turned away- multitasking), so used some delicious raspberry and vanilla balsamic instead.
I will certainly make this again as it really is a 'special' salad that I think some of my foodie friends would really enjoy (but I'll measure the rosewater separately). Oh and I also blitzed the pomegranate for 1 second too long and it turned to mush so I didn't sprinkle the little jewels on top :( maybe next time..
-
It looks good though Jamberie even if it was 'rosier' than you would have liked :D
-
Love this. Have you tried the Beetroot salad in KIS? That's yummy too.
