I love these beans. The pomegranate molasses is a must! I will use cranberry juice if I don't have pom juice on hand.

I would put this in the "has potential" category. It wasn't bad though. I found the pom. molasses (which I use in various things) to give too much "tang" and wish I'd used half the amount. I had to add more brown sugar and some butter and bourbon to mellow out the flavor. Also, I baked these beans about an hour. They do need that to allow everything to merge together.

My husband and I thought this recipe was delicious! I didn't have pomegranate molasses, so I just used regular molasses. I definitely will be making this again.
