Here are a few recipes to get you started. Sweet and Sour Pomegranate Syrup Salad Dressing This healthy salad dressing can also be made with regular pomegranate syrup. 1 Tsp.

Cakes Poke holes in the top of a warm plain pound or sponge cake with a skewer then drizzle the sweet and sour pomegranate syrup over the top. Use a brush to cover the top evenly then leave to soak in. Have the cake as it is with icing sugar dusted over the top or make a vanilla or lemon icing. White Wine Add ½ Teaspoon of Sweet and Sour Pomegranate Syrup to a glass of white wine then stir well. This is a great way of improving the taste of cheap wines.

Start with a little, taste then add more syrup until you are happy with the flavour. Try mixing together 30ml Vodka, 250ml white wine, a squeeze of lemon juice and 1 teaspoon of pomegranate syrup for a delicious cocktail.
