A Good Sauce (#102)

Niccolo's Recipe
Makes 1 quart (about 16 to 20 servings)

3 cups Pomegranate syrup/molasses  (found at middle Eastern Stores)
1 to 2 cups water
1/2 cup wine
1/2 pound sugar
1/2 ounce Cinnamon, gound
 

Combine Pomegranate syrup, water and wine in large saucepan.  Dissolve sugar and cinnamon over medium heat and bring to a boil, stirring occasionally.  Let simmer over medium heat for 30 to 45 minutes, stirring frequently to avoid scorching.

Serve with roasted meats.

NOTE:  If you can find pomegranate juice, you may substitute this for the pomegranate syrup and water.  You will need to boil longer to reduce and bring to serving consistency.
