Sounds like something I would definitely like - I'm not sure I've ever seen pomegranate molasses around here, though. Is that something that is typically available at a Middle-Eastern grocers? Or could I use regular molasses? I would love to try this.

Yes it is available in Middle-Estern grocery stores. I have never seen it anywhere else. Molasses will not do. Pomegranate molasses has this distinctive flavor that you cannot find nowhere. Thanks for visiting.
