[pacific breeze]

This dessert sounds exotic and adventurous, but good.

Blood Oranges With Pomegranate Molasses

16 blood oranges
3/4 cup pomegranate molasses
1/2 cup honey
1 tablespoon orange-blossom water
16 dates, pitted and chopped
Seeds from 1 pomegranate
1/2 cup unsalted pistachio nuts, chopped
1/4 cup chopped mint.

1. Cut the skin and pith from each orange; then slice each into thirds. Remove and discard the seeds. In a small bowl, whisk together the pomegranate molasses, honey and orange-blossom water.

2. Lay orange slices on a large white platter. Sprinkle with dates, pomegranate seeds and pistachios. Pour the molasses mixture over top, sprinkle with mint and serve. Serves 8.

woo I was waiting for a desert recipe to pop up on this forum.
Where can I find pomegranate molasses? A specialty store?

I think a specialty store or maybe a Persian or middle-easternfood store. There are lots of Persian stores around, especially on the North Shore.
