When you hear the ingredient "grenadine", what's the first thing you think of? A Shirley Temple? Roy Rogers? Pink Lemonade? Or a Tequila Sunrise? Grenadine is generally associated with a sweet flavored syrup that is added to a cocktail or a drink. It originated in France where it was made from pomegranate juice or cherry juice and sugar. Now it tends to be a combination of primarily blackcurrant juice with some raspberry, redcurrant, blackberry flavors mixed in. In any case, grenadine is associated with drinks. Have you ever heard of it in food? Not me.
