If you’re not familiar with grenadine, it is a red syrup commonly used as a cocktail drink mixer (see Silom sunrise) but which I have also used for cooking (see my braised chicken with rosemary, grenadine and lime juice.

Grenadine is traditionally made from pomegranate juice although commercial grenadine many contain other fruit juices. If you have access to fresh pomegranates, you can easily make grenadine at home. Bottled grenadine is more convenient for us because fresh pomegranates are rare and pricey here in the Philippines.
