Some historians believe that the pomegranate was the original forbidden fruit in the Garden of Eden. Its juice is a prized flavor enhancer in Syrian cuisine because its sourness is balanced by just the right amount of sweetness. In the Middle East, concentrated pomegranate juice perks up foods when acidic ingredients such as fresh citrus products are out of season! Sorry, I have just one recipe that calls for hot & spicy lamb meatballs baked in pomegranate sauce, but no recipe for the sauce ;-(
