Pretty Pomegranate Puzzle
When I made the pink syrup for my apple tart, I had too much glaze, but it was such a pretty color, I couldn't bear to throw it away. I had two extra jars left over from making applesauce, so I quickly popped it into the jars to save for later.It's richly pink, sweet-tart and runny like good maple syrup, thinny rather than gooey.
What should I do with it? I've thought about waffles, but I'm kinda hidebound about that, preferring real maple syrup for them. I thought about pork chops, and I haven't completely discounted that idea, but syrup? On pork? I can just hear my mother shouting down from her cloud in heaven, "What are you thinking?"
So, I'll leave it up to you. How should I use these two little jars of sweetly tart, deep pink puzzle?

My first thought was pork chops, too. Or on top of ice cream.
Oh I think definitely on pork. Maybe a roast.
Pork chops, for sure.
Or save some to substitute for cranberries on Thanksgiving.
Ice cream, dress a fruit salad, in a vinagrette
Icecream, mix it with somes fizzy wine for a nice summer drink. If it helps you deal with the syrup issue, call it "thin sauce" and drizzle over your pork chops!
I'll second both the vinaigrette and the fizzy drink :)
Pork tenderloin has my vote. Or as a flavor to some salad dressing.
I like the pork idea, too, but think about using it as a sauce for poached pears, maybe topped with some bits of chopped new walnuts. Of drizzled over some soft fresh goat cheese. Or eat it from a runcible spoon (whatever THAT is)!
Cornish Game Hen, stuffed with a Middle Eastern stuffing of rice, dried figs, apricots and dates and glazed during roasting with the glaze.
But pork would be good too.
If you go Middle Eastern, then it would work with lamb as well.
chicken livers. reduce it further, some arils from a fresh pomegranate. on robust greens, salad like. an acid,or good olive oil if needed to balance
Kitt, you're in the majority with the pork chops - and I like the ice cream idea!
Dagny, another vote for pork!
Cookiecrumb, oh, interesting idea to serve with turkey!
Michelle, I like the vinaigrette idea - I'm going to try that!
Morgan, I could save one of the jars for next summer and the fizzy wine idea...
Vicki, okay, duly recorded!
Anna, another in the Pork Lobby heard from!
Kudzu, OMG the goat cheese idea sounds dreamy - I'm going to give that a try!
Nancy, My Beloved adores game hens so I'll definitely save a little for that idea - wanna come for supper that night?
Dagny, another great idea - it would be a natural with lamb!
Chefkph, I can tell you are adventurous! Interesting idea, thanks!
As a glaze for duck, or reduced with wine as a sauce for confit. Mixed with vinegar and spices for a chutney, or melted for a glaze over other fruit tarts.
