like rillettes de porc, cambenbert, wine, and many of my favorite foods, i first discovered grenadine syrup in france. it is added to a lemon-lime drink called limonade and gives the drink a fruity flavor. and it's red, and it's pretty.
actually, i never knew WHAT the flavor of grenadine was. i only knew i liked it.
not as common in indiana, grenade (f), is french for pomegranate. with pomegranate juice on sale at my local grocery store this fall, i had to try this homemade grenadine syrup. the flavor is definitely a departure from artificial grenadine, and i like it all the more.
note: i traded this at the indy food swap; it keeps for quite a while in the refrigerator and would make a fabulous birthday, holiday, or anytime gift!
