Pomegranate Molasses Barbecue Sauce

"Adapted from a recipe by Kerry Saretsky at Serious Eats http://tinyurl.com/d7b834 - "The sweet-tart tang of barbecue sauce seemed the perfect vehicle for fruity, very sweet, very tart pomegranate molasses. Mixed with ketchup, fresh thyme, onion, sugar, and vinegar, the pomegranate molasses doesn't get lost in the mix, nor does it overpower. It adds this detectable, but unplaceable, sweet bite in the background of this tangier than tangy barbecue sauce, negotiating the tight-rope balance between sweet and tart that every barbecue sauce must walk. I smothered it onto spareribs, but I also dipped rotisserie chicken in it, and I know this sauce would go perfectly with barbecued pork ribs, chicken, salmon, or Portobello mushrooms.""

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I'm a 48 y/o gay Jewish man in the suburbs immediately north of New York City. I'm a general internist, practicing and teaching at a medical college north of NYC. I also earned a Masters in Public Health degree in 2013. After a Walt Disney World trip in Dec 2006 where I had to rent an electric scooter because I couldn't manage the walking, I decided to have gastric bypass surgery, which was done Feb 28, 2007. I lost 160 lbs (though I've gained back about 60 of that since). I can't eat as much as I used to, so I want every bite to be extra good!
