For this BBQ sauce, I was sent some pomegranate molasses as a sample to try, and I loved its sweet and sour, tangy kind of taste. I reckoned that it would work brilliantly in a barbecue sauce, and our kids agreed. You can use it as a barbecue mop in the last 30 minutes of cooking your meat or marinate meat in the sauce for at least 30 minutes before cooking it up.

Cook’s Note

Do not grill or bake for longer than 45 minutes, as the sugary syrup and tomato ketchup are likely to burn and make the food taste bitter.
