Sauce

I made Prickly Pear Juice and liked it to use for my drinks and vinaigrette. But I was afraid that it won't keep well. So I decided to make a syrup which should keep for months in the fridge. Please regard my Prickly Pear Juice recipe on this website to make a cup of prickly pear juice.

Grenadine is "vibrant shade of magenta, a rich syrup that brightens every cocktail it touches with its sweet, slightly tart, beautifully bright, rich, deep and lightly floral flavors" according to Mr. Morgenthaler who posted the original recipe online. It is a common ingredient for many cocktails, yet there is no decent ready-made grenadine anywhere! It's easy to make and changes your drink up side down. Fresh ingredients are always better, but POM works fine, too. You can buy both the pomegranate molasses and orange blossom water on Amazon.com if you cannot find them near you.

Very easy. The more peppers or less peppers you seed the hotter or milder the sauce. Use gloves if seeding.
