Sounds wonderful!  Do you think the pomengranate molasses is essential? 

Wonder if you could combine pomengranate juice with molasses for the same

effect....

I'm not the original poster but I do know a bit about Pomegranit molasses. They

are basically boiled down pomegranit juice so they are the consistancy of

molasses. If you can't find them search online at Sadaf. They have alot of hard

to find middle eastern items that are soooooo good.

I agree though this sounds fabulous!

Take care
