Author Notes

Inspired by a Lebanese chef, Maroun Chédid, that I was fortunate enough to meet in Beirut; I added an ingredient that I first discovered in Lebanon, apple molasses and recently in the US, made in a farm in Upstate New York with organic apple cider. —Taste of Beirut

Sounds really yummy. Is the apple cider molasses like pomegranate molasses?

not at all; same idea though. It is extracted from the apple cider; the taste is sweet and acidic at the same time.
