Here is a really festive side dish. Sweet potatoes coated with tangy pomegranate molasses and warming nutmeg/clove/cinnamon/pepper tasting allspice.
I like this recipe because it is a change of pace from traditional honey glazes usually coating sweet potatoes. Pomegranate molasses is pomegranate juice that has been reduced down, with or without sugar, to a thick, intensely flavored, sweet and tangy syrup. Traditionally used in many Middle Eastern dishes, I used it here with a little allspice to give roasted sweet potatoes a rich and interesting flavor. It looks great too.
