Only add the pomegranate syrup in the last couple of minutes of baking or otherwise you will have a smoky mess. If you cannot find pomegranate molasses in the market, you can make your own. Just add 4 cups pure pomegranate juice, ½ cup sugar and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice and cook low and slow until liquid is reduced to about 1 cup without a cover. Takes at least 1 hour. Do NOT over reduce the liquid as it will turn solid when cooled. You are looking for a syrup that just barely coats the back of the spoon as it thickens when it cools.
