Preparation

Step 1
Heat oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onions and cook 20 to 30 minutes until caramelized, stirring often. Lower heat if necessary. Meanwhile, combine molasses, barbecue sauce, broth and mustard in small bowl. Add molasses mixture to skillet after onions are caramelized; stirring to combine.
Cooking Tip: Pomegranate molasses can be made by combining 4 cups pomegranate juice, 2/3 cup sugar and 1/3 cup fresh lime juice in medium saucepan. Simmer on medium heat until mixture reduces to 1 to 1-1/4 cups, stirring often. Pomegranate molasses can be made ahead of time and stored in an airtight container for up to 1 month.
