This is a revelation! I made this with sweet potatoe fries on the grill. The Pomegranate sauce is rocking . I dipped everything in it. It probably wouldnt hurt to double the sauce recipe since you can always use it for something. The jalapeno had a very nice smooth bite to this recipe but it was mild enough to make my DD lick her plate. ENJOY! Ingredients:
1 cup pomegranate juice |
1/2 jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced |
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar |
1 1/2 teaspoons honey |
1/4 teaspoon salt, divided |
1/4 teaspoon pepper, divided |
1/8 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes |
3 teaspoons olive oil, divided |
1 garlic clove, minced |
