This recipe makes a LOT. If you only need food enough for 1-2 people, even freezing it will be too much. Is there a smaller amount recipe available? I've had this before & loved it so having a smaller recipe would be most helpful. - 1/19/11

Divide all ingredients in half for a smaller quantity. Because it takes so long to make, I freeze multiple containers of the sauce to have on hand to use as I need it. I cook a lot on the weekend and we use it though the week. You can also use the sauce with chicken or beef.

Could you please tell me where to find Pomegranate Molasses? This sounds interesting and I would like to make it. - 12/26/10

Look for it in shops that sell Greek or Middle Eastern groceries. I get it at an Indian grocery that carries a few Middle Eastern items too. Also, you can order it on line.
Enjoy!
